Everyone on Netflix is binge watching this DC superhero drama you’ve never even heard of

The CW has produced a slew of comic book-themed and superhero fare over the years, examples of which include everything from Arrow to Legends of Tomorrow. Another such example, one that the critics seem to absolutely adore, is Black Lightning -- based on the DC Comics character of the same name, and following the escapades of this retired superhero returning to action while also balancing that activity with life at home as a family man.

The fourth and final season of the show just got added to Netflix, and while we wait to see how high it's able to climb the rankings in terms of the top shows on Netflix, we can't help but point out the strong critical reception it's garnered. At the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, for example, the show is currently sitting at a 92% critics score, with the original critics' consensus on the site reading as follows: "Black Lightning doesn't reinvent superhero TV, but it does give the genre a necessary jolt with real-world plots, scary new villains, and a star-making performance from Cress Williams."
