EDIT: RARE that a series takes feedback and fixes everything that's wrong, but Black Lightening did that. I truly love this show now and hope it keeps going Edit #2: spoke too soon. Once again the writers lost their way. I honestly feel this show had major potential to deliver on its... potential, not just as a beacon for social and racial justice, but also as a truly high quality superhero show. The actors did their absolute best with what they were given, and some shone brightly despite the writing, but sadly the formula for all these DC shows (Cheese + camp + cringe) remains a work in progress. Original: Good premise and potential, and some good acting and special effects. Conversely, the massive cheese factor in the writing combined with some equally bad acting, make it impossible to really get involved in the show.
