Black Lightning

Combat in every episode, ranging in intensity. A villain shoots a man in the chest with an arrow attached to a rope; uses it to reel the man in as he screams. Black Lightning uses bolts of electricity and hand-to-hand combat (not guns) to disarm and knock criminals to the ground, where they smoke slightly and lie still. He also sets property (e.g., a police car) on fire. A baddie tortures a man by dumping him in a fish tank; he is seen floating as if dead a moment later. A woman punches a man who grabs her arm and puts him on the ground, he tries to pull a gun before he's convinced to get going by Jefferson. Black Lightning is impervious to gunfire (though others are shot with blood but no gore). Aggressive music plays as he dispatches bad guys one by one, throwing them off balconies and through panes of glass.

Women show confidence about their sexuality. Jennifer, a high school girl, tells a young man she's not having sex with him, in no uncertain terms; he smiles and accepts her limits. Later, a man implies that Jennifer should be working as a prostitute to cover a friend's debts; she says she's not "ho-ing" for anybody. Expect same- and opposite-sex flirting, dating, kissing.

Expect words like "damn," "ass," "hell," "pissed," "ho," "bitch."

Jennifer is shown smoking at a club; later, she tells a male friend that just because she's a "little stoned," he shouldn't think he's going to "get some." At the same club, high school students drink what appears to be alcohol. Drugs play a part in plots, with gang members selling "product." Anissa tells Jennifer after a visit to a club that she's lucky she didn't end up in a hotel room "all drugged up and being passed around." Other characters have cocktails at dinner or while relaxing at home.
