TV Review: Black Lightning Season 1 Episode 5 "And Then the Devil Brought the Plague: The Book of Green Light" [Emz]

So I've made it to episode 5. I'm currently multiple episodes ahead, but I will review this series an episode at a time.

I recently found out that Black Lightning is getting a second series which is great news.

Here's the synopsis:

An unexpected phone call prompts Jefferson to investigate the murder of his father; Anissa wrestles with the fact that her actions have dire consequences; Jennifer learns the importance of controlling her temper.

Brief Explanation Of The Episode:

In this episode, Jefferson's Black Lightning Suit is altered for flight by Gambi, which starts out well, until he experiences severe headaches. 

Gambi has a visit from Tobias Whale asking if he knows who Black Lightning is, Gambi denies any knowledge of him and asks him to keep away as he is breaking their deal.

Jennifer defends herself from two girls at the skating rink where she breaks one of their wrists. The girls family and not happy and this leads to Jefferson and Lynn taking full responsibility.

Anissa digs into her grandfather research and comes across a storage unit which contains lots of information as well as a safe. Within the safe is a vial.

Black Lightning, finds Joey Toledo after following the trail of Green Light, just as he thinks he has Toledo just where he wants him, Jefferson has a major headache which causes him to collapse

Review:

I really enjoyed this episode, it's really interesting to see Anissa coming into her powers and having a disguise to keep her identity secret.

Of course, it's always refreshing to see not everything going to plan and the modifications to Jeffersons Black Lightning suit causing him issues and of course Jennifer sticking up for herself and everyone waiting on the edge of their seat as to when her powers will kick in.

Then there's Gambi and his secrets... when will we know what he's hiding. 

I look forward to seeing how this story keeps progressing. Roll on episode 6!

TV Review: Black Lightning Series 1 Episode 4 "Black Jesus" [Emz]

So here is Episode 4. I am a few episodes behind in writing, but I will be reviewing all episodes asap.

So this episode is called Black Jesus. The episode aired on Netflix on the 13th February 2018.

Here is the synopsis:

Black Lightning is recruited to rally against the 100 gang; Anissa investigates the new drug hitting the streets; familiar faces begin to reappear.

Review:

This episode has very strong themes of Gang Violence and Drug Use.

The theme of drug use start at the beginning of the episode with Jefferson responding to a situation in the boys bathroom. Jefferson arrives to see a student acting irrationally, to stop the boy from hurting himself on anyone else, Jefferson has to use his powers to knock him out. As it later turns out the boy was high on a new drug called Green Light.

Anissa later spots some of her students being sold Green Light and manages to get them away from the drug dealers empty handed.

Jefferson, as Black Lightning interrogates a drug dealer to find out who is supplying them. He is given the name 2-Bits.

After hearing the boy is going to be expelled for the school, Jefferson tries to get him a second chance at the school.

Tobias finds out that Black Lightning is not dead and has the Mortician who identified him originally killed.

Following the previous episode Jennifer visits Khalil during Physio therapy and overhears that Khalil may never walk again.

After a heated discussion over dinner with her parents and the Inspector, Anissa confronts two drug dealers and uses her power on them. She ends up knocking them unconcious and then calls 911 and leaves the scene..

The episode ends with Jefferson greeting 2-Bits.

I enjoyed this episode. Emotions are everywhere though, you feel angry about the damage the drug is doing and how easy it is for kids to get their hands on it, sad for Khalil and the situation he is in and at the same time sad for Jennifer who is trying to be there for him. 

I can't wait to see Anissa grow in confidence and eventually learn who Black Lightning actually is, that will be interesting.

I will have the next episode up next week.

Till then

TV Review: Black Lightning Series 1 Episode 3 "LaWanda: The Book of Burial" [Emz]

On to episode 3 of Black Lightning.

This episode picks up not too long after episode 2 and we begin with the funeral of Lawanda White.

Here is the synopsis:

HOLDING OUT HOPE — As Jefferson Pierce tries to determine if the community can survive without the help of Black Lightning, Anissa starts to come into her own. Meanwhile, Jefferson and Lynn try and figure out their new dynamic. Finally, Jennifer reveals to her parents that she has been grappling with something big.

Review:

The theme of Gang violence is a strong theme throughout this series and continues once again in this episode. Sex is also a theme of this episode.

Following the death of Lawanda White, a march is planned, which Jefferson is against. But both of his girls and his ex-wife plan on attending.

The theme of Sex comes into this episode. Jennifer discusses having sex with her boyfriend and proceeds to inform her parents that she will be having sex with her at the weekend.

Anissa is looking into what is happening to her, she records herself testing out her strength at the city dump. for the reason she is suddenly bulletproof and super-strong. She then meets Grace at the library and gets invited to a costume party. During the costume party he is accused on cheating by her girlfriend. We later learn that she broke up with her.

During the March which, Lyn, Anissa, Jennifer and Khalil attend, Jefferson as Black Lightning stops a shooter, but whilst protecting them, Tobias and his associate, try another attempt. They manage to shoot the Pastor and the bullet goes straight through and hits Khalil.

I enjoyed seeing Anissa testing out her powers but found it emotional seeing Jennifer getting upset over Khalil.

TV Review: Black Lightning Series 1 Episode 2 "Lawanda: The Book of Hope" [Emz]

So here we are with episode 2. This episode is called "Lawanda: Book Of Hope."

This episode picks up not too long after the first episode.

Here is the synopsis:

IS HE BACK? — As the community struggles with the violence surrounding them, a glimmer of hope appears: Is Black Lightning back? Lynn Stewart, noticing the changes in the community, is also left wondering. While Jefferson Pierce struggles with his decision, Gambi urges him to take up the mantle once more and return to life as Black Lightning. Anissa and Jennifer try to deal with the aftermath of their jolting experience.

Review:

This episode keeps the recurring themes of Gang Violence, drugs and alcohol. There is also the theme of sexuality as we delve a little deeper into Jefferson's daughters love lives.

Gang violence is shown in quite a but of this episode.

Following the last episode, Jennifer stays at home and gets threatened by a young child that has been sent by Lala. This scares not only Jennifer but also Jefferson and sparks him into going to see Lala, but as himself, not Black Lightning.

We meet Lawanda who is the mother of a missing person who was a former student at the High School. She is asking the question that is on many peoples lips, why did Black Lightning save his children only? She ends up becoming a bit of a Vigilante in order to save her daughter. This results in Lala killing her.

The themes of alcohol are recurring as the pressure of having to act 'perfect' being the Principal's daughter constantly leads Jennifer to act out and drink.

The theme of Sexuality is explored through the love lives of Jefferson's daughters. I mean Jefferson's love life is clearly complicated with his ex-wife but we don't really know much about his daughters. We discover that Anissa has a long term girlfriend and that her parents are aware of her sexuality. Also Jennifer starts a relationship with her friend Khalil.

The death of Lawanda eventually leads Jefferson to become Black Lightning again after feeling guilty for her death as he feels he could have helped.

I think this series grows with each episode and there is more to uncover.

TV Review: Black Lightning Series 1 Episode 1 "The Resurrection" - Series Premiere [Emz]

So this is the latest TV show to come from the DC TV universe, following after Arrow, The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl.

The show is currently airing on The CW in america and unlike the other DC shows which air on Sky One in the UK, it is currently airing weekly on Netflix.

The first episode was released on the 23rd January on Nexflix.

The show stars Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce/ Black Lighting, China Anne McClain as Jennifer Pierce, Nafessa Williams as Anissa Pierce, Christine Adams as Lynn Stewart, Marvin "Krondon" Jones III as Tobias Whale, Damon Gupton as Billy Henderson and James Remar as Peter Gambi.

Here is the Synopsis

A former superhero with the power to control and harness lightning, Jefferson Pierce, otherwise known as Black Lightning, unrolls the secrets of his past to protect his city and his family.

Review:

So there are a couple of familiar faces in this show. Cress Williams has previously starred in Hart Of Dixie, China Anne McClain has starred in ANT Farm on Disney Channel and most recently portrayed Uma in Disney's Descendants 2. Finally I recognized the actress who plays Jefferson's ex-wife Lynn Stewart, She is portrayed by Christine Adams, I remember her from an episode of Doctor Who in 2005 called The Long Game, her characters name was Cathica.

Anyway, I have currently watched 3 out of 4 episodes that have been released on Netflix ( I will watch the latest one tonight.)

So I find the themes of this show interesting, Gang Violence, Racism, drugs and alcohol to name but a few. 

Racism is shown when Jefferson gets pulled over by Police and is handcuffed before he is identified as not being the culprit behind a robbery. Drugs and Alcohol are shown when Jefferson's youngest daughter Jennifer, goes to a club and uses drugs and drinks alcohol, Gang Violence is shown when Jefferson's daughters are kidnapped by a member of the 100 gang and are to be used as prostitutes.

So When the show first airs we are treated to flashbacks of Jefferson as Black Lightning almost dying after trying to kill Tobias Whale and he tell Lynn (his then wife) that he is going to give it all up. (Jefferson has the ability to harness and control lightning). So when we return to present day, he hasn't masqueraded as Black Lightning in quite some time. In his retirement he has become the Principal of Garfield High School.

Jefferson bring Black Lightning out of retirement to save his daughters lives, his tailor, Peter Gambi is behind the Black Lightning outfit and has given him an upgrade.

Following Jefferson reusing his powers to save his daughters, we are treated to a clip of Anissa having a panic attack and breaking the bathroom sink, this could be a sign of things to come as in the comics both Jefferson's daughters are superhero's also.

I will be posting about the following episodes soon.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 7 "Killer Frost" [Emz]

Now this episode was definitely the start of an interesting character arc. The episodes from the beginning of this season have been leading up to this and we had glimpses of this happening from previous seasons  when we met their Earth-2 counterpart.

I am of course talking about Caitlin Snow becoming Killer Frost. 

Here is the Synopsis:

Caitlin's inner Killer Frost is unleashed after she uses her powers to save Barry; on a rampage, Killer Frost goes looking for Dr. Alchemy, kidnaps Julian and battles both The Flash and Vibe; Joe and H.R. have an honest discussion.

Review:

Blimey this episode really kicked this season up a notch. Last episode we had the revealing of the main villain Savitar and we saw Wally become encased in a cocoon.

So how does Caitlin become killer Frost you ask? Well we see Savitar kidnap Barry (The Flash) and seemingly teleport him all over the city, once they arrive at a nearby destination Iris asks Caitlin to help stop Savitar from killing Barry by using her powers, (she informed the team about them last episode) Caitlin was unsure but she helped him anyway.

This is what caused her to lose control over her powers. she manipulates Joe in to thinking that Wally was awake so she could gather information on Doctor Alchemy, what for we don't know in the beginning. 

She abducts Julian to help her search for Doctor Alchemy and she inadvertently reveals that she wants to get rid of her powers. Of course she learns from a follower that Alchemy would not get rid of her powers and that Savitar would have plans for her.

After a battle with Cisco and The Flash, Caitlin is eventually captured. During this time we see Joe and H.R. break open the Cocoon that Wally is in and he hasn't yet completely bonded with his powers. Barry tries to convince Caitlin to help them by giving her the freedom she wants, but only if she kills him. Unable to do this Caitlin rejoins the team and creates a serum which will help Wally stabilize his powers.

Following this Julian blackmails Barry to quit his job else he will tell the Police about Caitlin.

This definitely was quite an episode, there was so much going on but it all interlinked at some point or another. 

I really enjoyed Danielle Panabaker's portrayal of Killer Frost/ Caitlin Snow and look forward to what's to come.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 6 "Shade" [Emz]

So this episode marks the beginning of Kid Flash.

Here is the synopsis:

Wally starts having dreams about being Kid Flash, making Barry realize he must tell Wally, Iris and Joe what happened to Wally in Flashpoint.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It was interesting to see how Doctor Alchemy gives people powers that their Flashpoint selves lived with.

We also see The Flash battle Shade and Caitlin informs Cisco of her powers.

They try to use Wally as Bait to capture Doctor Alchemy , just for it to backfire and him to escape. In this process Wally ends up encased in a Cocoon and we earn that Doctor Alchemy is just a lackey for someone else. Calling themselves Savitar.

That's all for this post.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 5 " Monster" [Emz]

Now this episode is again a little different. The hint of the difference is in the title.

So "Monster" originally aired on the 1st November 2016 on The CW.

Here is the synopsis:

Caitlin visits her mother to help her understand her growing meta-human powers; Barry tries to convince Julian to let him help investigate a new meta-human that is attacking Central City.

Review:

So it seems a monster is terrorising Central City. Barry and the team are having trouble with it. The other problems that they are facing are Barry being shown up  to his boss by Julian as he is late a number of times and disappears alot. 

The team are also having issues with H.R. Wells as he hasn't really done much since he arrived. 

Caitlin has taken time off and went to meet with her mother to see if she can help her with her Ice powers, they go through a number of tests until her mothers colleague doesn't want to let her go.

In the end Barry seems to make some leeway with Julian after they work out that the Monster is a Hologram and is being programmed by a young boy.

The team also realise that H.R. isn't a scientist at all.

I enjoyed the way this episode went but flt sorry for Barry and Caitlin, but laughed alot at H.R and the way he kept repeating everything Cisco and Barry said.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 4 "The New Rogues" [Emz]

Now episode 4 "The New Rogues". It was originally released on the 15th October 2016. This is an interesting one. We begin with a flashback from three years before. We also have a guest appearance from Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), who is currently, as far as Barry knows with the Legends.

Here is the Synopsis:

Mirror Master joins his old partner, Top, and looks to even the score with Snart; Jesse joins the chase, but her decision to defy one of Barry's orders results in terrible consequences.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It was a little bit different. Instead of this pair getting powers from Doctor Alchemy as they are calling him, this couple - Sam Scudder and Rosalind Dillon (aka Mirror Man and Top)

They are old "cohorts" of Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold. So they appear t have received their powers at the same time as Barry, when the particle accelerator exploded. Fast forward to present day in this episode and Rosalind is in Jail and we discover that Sam has been trapped in a mirror for 3 years.

Elsewhere, with Earth 2's Harry Wells preparing to go home along with Jesse, he helps the team search for another Harry Wells from another of the multiverses.

We also see Caitlin ice powers take hold, when Barry gets trapped in a Mirror when fighting against Sam and Jesse is unable to help as whilst battling Rosalind she is affected by Vertigo. SO, after Harry and Cisco's attempt to free Barry doesn't work, she freezes the mirror and he manages to escape.

It was also interesting to see a relationship between Jesse and Wally. Plus finally we meet anther Harry Wells, who calls himself H.R.

I each episode gets more interesting and I look forward to the next one.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 3 "Magenta" [Emz[

So I have recently watched episode 3 of The Flash Season 3. This episode is called "Magenta".

This episode Guest stars Joey King (Ramona and Beezus, White House Down, Wizards of Waverly Place.) We also have the reappearance of Jesse and Harry Wells from Earth 2.

Here is the synopsis:

Wells asks Barry and Caitlin to talk Jesse out of using her speedster powers; Magenta uses a power to control metal to terrorize the city.

Review:

This was a good episode. Alchemy strikes again with Magenta attacking the city, we also see Jesse and Harry Wells form earth 2, making an appearance as Jesse gets her speed. This upsets Wally who doesn't have any powers yet.

I liked the way Harry as an protective Dad and didn't want Jesse to go Zooming off into danger (no pun intended) he tried to get the others to dissuade her, but she figures it out.

The ending was great, with Jesse getting her first taste at helping to save the day and sing her speed to its full potential

I will hopefully watch episode 4 soon.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 2 "Paradox" [Emz]

So I just watched the second episode of Season 3. This one is called "Paradox." 

This episode originally aired on the 11th October 2016 on The CW.

Here is the synopsis:

Barry realizes the effects from Flashpoint are much greater than he thought. Meanwhile, Barry meets new co-worker Julian Albert and is surprised by Julian's immediate disdain for Barry.

Review:

Now this episode showed more of the outcome of the aftermath of Barry creating Flashpoint and then trying to reverse it.

Iris and her father don't talk, Cisco has lost his brother, Diggle (Arrow) has a son and not a daughter and Barry has a new work colleague in Julian Albert (Tom Felton.)

It was interesting to see Barry try t act like everything was normal but then he realised he couldn't keep it a secret any longer after The Rival reappears in this timeline. 

He plans to go back and change the timeline again but is stopped by another Flash, Jay Garrick. Now if my memory serves my right, Jay Garrick has appeared in The Flash season 2 wen Zoom was moonlighting as The Flash in an alternate Universe. In this episode however he has been keeping an eye on Barry and learning what he had done previously and that he was Barry's father's doppelganger (and also the actor played The Flash years ago in the 1990's TV series.)

Once he realises he can't change the past, he comes clean wth the team. Which has mixed opinions to begin with but they all decide to just get on with their lives and not know their lives in Flashpoint.

We also first hear about Doctor Alchemy and discover that Caitlin has freezing powers.

So that was a cliffhanger with Caitlin. I will review the next episode as soon as I can.

TV Review: The Flash Season 3 Episode 1 "Flashpoint" [Emz]

So here we are with another TV series!

I have watched Season 1 and 2 of The Flash but it is easier to start with Season 3.

This episode first aired on the 11th October 2016 on The CW.

Here is the synopsis:

Barry is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he's asked Iris West on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash, running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse-Flash taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.

Review:

So at the end of Season 2, Barry loses his father and also defeats Zoom. He goes back in time and stops his mother from being killed. He ends up trying to help stop anther speedster (The Rival) and trying to meet people that he knew in his previous timeline.

In the process he starts to lose his memories so he enlists the Reverse Flash to help put the timeline back to the way it was before. He is informed after he is put back to the point where he left that things will be different.

The first sign that we see of this is Iris and her father are not talking to each other.

I enjoyed this episode, but still not sure if the whole Flashpoint storyline was worth it as it caused so many changes to the characters family and friendships.

Thats all for now.

Till next time

DVD Reviews: Supergirl Season 2 Premiere " The Adventures Of Supergirl" [Emz]

SO I bought this on DVD last weekend and am slowly making my way through the season.

I thought I would start by reviewing the first episode of season 2. 

The first episode is called " The Adventures of Supergirl" and in this episode we meet Superman properly for the first time.

Here is the premise:

Supergirl and Clark team up to stop a new threat emerging in National City; Alex feels left out while Kara's family stays in town; a pod comes crashing down to earth.

So we have a few new faces this season. Including a new character, Lena Luthor she is portrayed by Katie McGrath best known for playing Morgana is the BBC series Merlin.

Review:

I enjoyed this episode. It showed the growth in Kara's character since we first met her at the beginning of Season 1. She is no longer an assistant and has now decided to be a reporter. She is still fighting Aliens and criminals as Supergirl, but is always facing new challenges. 

I also really liked the inclusion on Superman in this series, it was great to see how the writers got to bounce the characters off each other. I look forward to the rest of the season.

I probably won't post about every episode of this season but I may post another later on.

DVD Reviews: DC's Invasion! [Emz]

I bought this on Saturday. i was surprised to see this as a stand alone DVD when you can also watch each episode on the correct DVD's separate. But it makes sense.

So this the first cross over to feature Supergirl after the series moved from CBS to The CW in America (The Flash previously popped up in Supergirl Season 1)

So this TV event (thats what they are calling it) is a cross-over on 3 episodes featuring the following shows in the following seasons:  Arrow (season 4) , The Flash (season 3), Legends Of Tomorrow (Season 2) and Supergirl (Season 2).

Here are the descriptions for each The Flash where the crossover begins:

When aliens called the Dominators attack Central City, Barry (Grant Gustin) speeds over to Star City to ask the Green Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell) for help in stopping them. Realizing the battle against the Dominators is bigger than they thought, they track down the Legends of Tomorrow, and Barry and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) create a breach to bring back a secret weapon – Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist). Once all of the super friends are assembled, they come up with a plan to attack but a shocking secret related to Flashpoint is revealed and suddenly no one is sure who they can trust. Meanwhile, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) wants to join the battle against the aliens but Iris (Candice Patton) tells him he’s not ready.

Review:

I really enjoyed this TV event, one of my favourite characters in this crossover was Diggle, everything that was unfolding was completely and utterly as far away from normal as you can get and just to quote him "You know why I've never done drugs? It's 'cause I was always afraid I'd see weird stuff." That really made me laugh.  Also Felictiy and Cisco reactions to being on the Waverider Timeship (Legends Of Tomorrow) was very funny is also as they were asking all sorts of question that the team were unable to answer. 

I can't wait to see what future crossovers bring.

That's all for now

TV Shows I'm Looking Forward To 2017-2018 #1 [Emz]

As I've posted a few reviews lately and I will have at least two more after Saturday, I thought I'd post about what shows i'm looking forward to seeing that are coming during the 2017-2018 Season. So that is from September 2017 to August 2018

So we shall begin from 2017 then go into early 2018 for this first post. I will post again a bit later with the second half. 

Fuller House - Season 3

Now there is no synopsis for this season but it will be split into 2 parts. I never watched Full House as  kid but I watched a lot of it once it was on Netflix.

I have really enjoyed both seasons so far, it is really funny!

The Third Series begins on the 22nd September 2017 on Netflix

Victoria - Series 2

So this is a series I have been enjoying. It is obviously about Queen Victoria. The first series saw her ascension to the throne and the troubles she faced, it also followed her marriage to Prince Albert.

The second series will see her become a mother and also continue her role as Queen.

I think Jenna Coleman does a brilliant job portraying Queen Victoria.

The premise is as follows:

The first series depicts the first few years of the reign of Queen Victoria, played by Jenna Coleman, from her accession to the throne at the age of eighteen, to her intense friendship and infatuation with Lord Melbourne, to her courtship and early marriage to Prince Albert (played by Tom Hughes) and finally to the birth of their first child, Victoria.
The second series will follow Victoria's struggles on managing her role as Queen with that of her duties to her husband and children.

The second series begins on the 27th August 2017 for 8 episodes followed by a Christmas Special on ITV in the UK

The Crown - Series 2

So The Crown is another Series I have been enjoying. I watched the first series when it aired on Netflix last year. It is the earlier life of Queen Elizabeth II. It starts with her marriage to Prince Philip and continues through the first so many years of her life after that and then on to her becoming Queen after the death of her father King George VI.

Here is the Premise: 

The Crown traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding in 1947 to the present day. The first season depicts events up to 1955, with Claire Foy portraying the Queen in the early part of her reign. The second season is intended to cover from the Suez Crisis in 1956 through the retirement of the Queen's third Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, in 1963 following the Profumo affair political scandal. A third season will include Princess Margaret's five-year affair with baronet and gardening expert Roddy Llewellyn.

I really enjoyed the first series as it shows that it wasn't as easy as it may have seen for our Queen ascent to the Throne and beyond.

I feel that the cast for the show are brilliant. I knew of Claire Foy and Matt smith and quite a few others but I haddn't heard of Vanessa Kirkby but she plays the role of Princess Margret very Convincingly.

Series 2 airs on the 8th December 2017 on Netflix.

The Gifted

So this series seems interesting, Until today I didn't know an awful lot about this series but this is the Premise:

Two ordinary parents take their family on the run from the government when they discover that their children have mutant abilities, and join an underground community of mutants who have to fight to survive.

So the series stars stars Stephen Moyer, Best known for his role in True Blood, he has been cast as Reed Struker, one of the Parents.

It also stars Amy Acker and Jamie Chung.

The series Premieres in America (FOX) on the 2nd October 2017. 

No UK Release date or channel has been announced yet.

Black Lightning

 So, another DC comics hero receiving their own TV show on The CW in the US. This series will sit alongside, Arrow, The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl.

I think it's been mentioned that it won't cross over butt i'm sure that will change at some point.

Here is the Premise:

Jefferson Pierce, who retired from his superhero persona Black Lightning nine years ago after seeing the effects it had on his family, is forced to become a hero again when the rise of the local gang The One Hundred leads to increased crime and corruption in his community.

So i'm not familiar with any names in this series except one. China Anne Mcclain portrays one of Jefferson's daughters. China has appeared in many Disney Channel shows, including the Disney Channel Original Movie this year called Descendants 2.

Now there is not release date yet for this show, but it will air in 2018 on The CW.

I wouldn't be surprised in Sky One pick up this show in the UK, they currently air all of the others.

That is all i'm posting for now.

If you know of any upcoming shows that you are looking forward to let me know

Till next time
