I hope y’all supporting Black Lightning just as much as y’all plan on supporting Black Panther. Don’t let a tv show about a black superhero get low ratings, tune in fam.

HEY WHITE NERDS THIS GOES FOR US TOO LETS SHOW THE FUCK UP

There’s a very low likelihood that actually watching the show is gonna drive up ratings because, unless you’ve gone through the super-invasive process of volunteering for and subsequently getting a Nielsen box, the network doesn’t know you’re watching.

Here are some good ways to show support instead!

• Tweet about the show. Nielsen not only tracks how many people are tweeting, it tracks how many people see those tweets. This information is passed onto the networks as a measure of audience engagement–and the CW wants its shows to have devoted fans, since the odds of its shows ever achieving massive, more casual success are slim. 
• Visit the show’s website. The site tracks who’s visiting which parts. While watching the new episodes there is good, visit for other reasons, too–if you watch bonus content and click around the site, the CW will notice that folks are getting really into it. 
• Read about the show on high-profile websites. Critical acclaim is a big deal in this day and age, and while there’s no way you can garuntee that, you can insentivize sites likely to give that acclaim to write about the show. The more readers articles about Black Lightning get, the more articles about Black Lightning are likely to get written, and the CW will love the attention.
