Black Lightning Season 2 Episode 4 - The Book of Consequences: Chapter 4 - Translucent Freak Review

  Black Lightning is another of the DC Comic Book shows that I watch, it has been going less time but I enjoyed the first season enough to give the 2nd season a chance. Though so far I haven't enjoyed the second season as much, but lets get to the review.

Positives 

. I liked seeing a change of approach to Tobias Wale's character as he uses a different method to mess with Black Lightning and Jefferson Pierce as it becomes more personal which I felt was done pretty well.

. I also quite liked Lynn and the other scientist's conflict as it gives her more of an obstacle to overcome then just being a strict mother.

Negatives

. I felt like all the interactions between Jefferson and the new Principal were really forced. They came across as over the top and unrealistic just as a way to add some more conflict into the season.

. Jennifer is not an interesting character in my opinion, her issues feel lazy and the most irrelevant part of the show. Also I really just don't buy the chemistry between her and Khallil to care enough.

. Annisa has some issues with Jefferson in this episode and I felt like this issue is resolved incredibly quickly and it felt like the build up was unnecessary when you consider the payoff.

. The action scenes have not improved this season and actually seem to have become worse with very little threat to the characters.

Overall Grade

Overall this epsiode like the rest of the season is a big disappointment, There just isn't enough interesting going on to make this show one I really care about.

Overall Grade - D+
