Every DC Comics TV Show EVER Ranked From Worst To Best

13. Black Lightning

DC TV Shows
The CW

In spite of airing on The CW, Black Lightning wasted little time showing fans that it was nothing like the other comic book offerings on the network. The gritty and hard-hitting series forgoes all the theatrics that come with being a superhero show and instead focuses its time on telling realistic narratives, family-driven stories and delving into racism within communities.

Jefferson Pierce's war on injustice thrives because of how standalone it feels and, even though it eventually became an Arrowverse show in its third season, that's a charm it still possesses.

Perhaps the most underrated show in the genre right now, Black Lightning is more than worthy of your time.
