Damn I was all prepared to hate this show, but it doesn't look terrible. I'm still not signing up for CBS's streaming service though.

Feels like they took a big jar of Luke Cage and sprinkled in a little of Tony Stark. I heard that it doesn't take place in either the Arrow Earth or the Supergirl Earth, so there probably won't be many crossovers.

Yeah I read that too. Keep the black man segregated from the rest of the DC superheroes. Sounds legit

Of course it got cancelled. A good sci-fi show that depicted POC throught history as heroes they were and had an IR relationship in the mix, you knew no one was going to watch it.

The Lone Ranger inspired by a black man? Josephene Baker spying for the Allied forces in WW2? A billionaire black man co-invents a time machine? The pilot of said time machine is a brilliant resourcful nerdish black guy? Why would anyone, especially black people, watch that?

They should've thrown in some hood niggas or a side plot about drugs in the projects and at least black people would've tuned in weekly. That's all we want to see about ourselves.

R.I.P Timeless and Rosewood.

It's black people's fault?

Black people watch a lot of traditional TV. I've there was a study that said we watch more than any other ethnic group. However, I can't swear to that because I haven't read the actual study.

With that said, yeah, it's out fault. We don't turn out for anything that isn't hood or race related. In that way we are like working class Trump voters; we are out own worst enemies.

No, no and no. A thousand times, no! Oh, and did I mention, no?

Why is that every black story has to be rooted in the streets or have something to do with gangs or drugs. Fuck! There are millions of black people who have nothing to do with that kind of thing. I want a black superhero who is just a guy doing the right thing in the same way Daredevil, Flash or Batman does. Sure, there are gangs in those stories, but it's more organized mafia crime type of stuff. It's not "the hood." There's something more to it. This is Luke Cage with lightning powers. I enjoyed Luke Cage. I'm just sick of everything black being associated with gangs and the ghetto.

Are there any black writers in the writers' room? Or, is this a bunch of white guys creating what they think a black hero should be?

I don't know if you guys watch this us but the character Randal would be a great archetype for a new kind of black hero.
