Vastly under-rated show.

Waiting eagerly for season 3 on Netflix!

 

Well worth watching - Seasons 1 + 2 on Netflix still

Black Lightning star hints major DC superhero team could join show

Quote

Black Lightning might not be a part of the Arrowverse, but it could soon be building its own universe by adding one major DC superhero team.

 

Speaking to Digital Spy and other press at Comic-Con, star Christine Adams reflected on the season two finale that saw Markovia set to invade Freeland, and that nation of metahumans could lead to none other than the Outsiders.

 

"I think the Markovians kind of open the door, probably, to the Outsiders. Probably. That's what I'm feeling," she said.

 

"That's because that feels like the direction we're going to go in. I don't know how long it's gonna take, it might be two seasons before we even get there, but that door is open, right?"

 

In the comics, the Outsiders are a team of metahuman superheroes who were founded by Batman, and the original line-up consisted of Black Lightning, alongside the likes of Geo-Force, Halo and Katana.

The CW is kicking February off with a blizzard (ha!) of renewals, picking up additional seasons of a dozen current series — including breakout hit Walker.

 

In addition to the aforementioned Jared Padalecki-fronted reboot, the list of shows confirmed to return for the 2021-22 TV season includes:

  • The Flash (Season 8)
  • Riverdale (Season 6)
  • DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (Season 7)
  • All American (Season 4)
  • Charmed (Season 4)
  • Legacies (Season 4)
  • In the Dark (Season 4)
  • Roswell, New Mexico (Season 4)
  • Batwoman (Season 3)
  • Nancy Drew (Season 3)
  • Dynasty (Season 5)

As previously reported, the soon-to-launch new seasons of Supergirl and Black Lightning will be both series last.

 

Additionally, Superman & Lois  — which is set to bow on Feb. 23 — has received an order for two additional episodes, bringing its Season 1 total to 15. (A Season 2 pickup for S&L is TBD.) Meanwhile, The CW is expanding Walker‘s inaugural season by 5 episodes, for a grand total of 18.

 

“Though we’re just a few weeks into the new season, we wanted to get a strategic head start on next season with these early renewals, which allows our production teams to start laying out story arcs and hiring staff, and at the same time, continues to provide us with a strong, stable schedule to build on for next season,” said CW Chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz in a statement. “As The CW’s 2020-2021 season kicks into high gear, we are thrilled creatively with the direction of our first new shows out of the gate, Walker and Superman & Lois, that we wanted to order the additional episodes to complete their first seasons, and we are particularly pleased with the huge success of the launch of Walker, which debuted as our most watched series premiere in 5 years.”

Enjoyable family-friendly show with good tunes.

 

The series is over for good - no Season 5

 

Enjoyable way to spend a quiet wet and windy day in front of the screen.

Video Quality

Black Lightning: The Complete Third Season arrives on Blu-Ray with a stunning AVC encoded 1080p transfer in its original 1.78:1. These Blu-Ray releases continue to be a step up from the broadcast and streaming versions of the show, as the disc provides a more consistent and stable image. The levels of detail this presentation is able to eek out is quite striking, as all of the subtle details in the production design and costumes are easily identifiable. Black levels are appropriately deep and give way to a nice amount of detail in shadows. The bright whites do not fall victim to any blooming in this presentation. Skin tones appear very natural across the entire cast. There are no egregious instances of aliasing or compression artifacts detectable here. The color palette tends to be more cold and steely to match the environment, but certain locations and special effects display some magical instances of beautiful colors popping off the screen. The Blu-Ray is quite gorgeous as it showcases the cinematic feel of the season to great effect.

Audio Quality

This Blu-Ray comes with a wonderfully active DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track that creates a fully lived-in world. Dialogue always comes through crisp and clear without being stepped on by the score or any sound effects. More kinetic moments are given the appropriate weight in the mix with a forceful showing in the low end. Ambient sounds are also precisely placed in the rear channels. The track handles panning effects around the surround speakers really well so that everything sounds natural to the world. One of the standout aspects of this show is the hip hop soundtrack that adds a lot of style to the story. This perfectly sets the tone, and it creates a nicely enveloping soundscape that draws you further into the show. The audio presentation here is top-notch on all levels.
