"At the beginning of the season (which, to be fair, was the beginning of the series), Black Lightning was very much a show about a man trying to save his town while keeping his secret identity and family safe," says Charles Pulliam-Moore. "As the show’s gone on, though, what with its references to other DC heroes and its bringing people back from the dead, Black Lightning’s definitely becoming a lot more like some of the CW’s other cape shows that lean into the wackiness of comic books."
