In the series, Jefferson Pierce (Williams) is a former Olympic athlete, a respected educator, and a family man.

We loved our show an how do we know the ratings where low,media can’t be trusted when it comes to any kind of positive news concerning black people, black entertainers. At my work place all we do is talk about this show until we get series5 we will keep watching the old episodes.
Let us see them with other super heroes teaming up
I really wish they would’ve kelp black lighting on because me an my family loved the show an we are very disappointed because we were looking forward to watching more episodes
Agreed we love the show for the 1st time you saw a black superhero helping the community an not dying off within 15 min. Thankyou to for contributing into making the show an all the actors.
Disappointed that the company who shows Black lightening do not consider all the viewers who are still interested in watching it, leaves us in the dark so disgraceful of them , really hate it when you are into a series , but they cancel because of rating makes me SO Angry.

Let me know if you’ve done it, OK?
This was one of the CW’s better shows, regardless of the demographic….and so called ratings. The CW is almost to the point where the channel is going to leave my favorites list…..
