Which newcomers on the small screen have impressed reviewers the most during the first half of the year?

Producer Greg Berlanti's latest DC Comics series doesn't connect to the other CW comic book shows, but that doesn't mean it's any less good. Lightning stars Cress Williams (Heart of Dixie) as the superhero vigilante—DC's first African-American superhero with his own stand-alone comics—who comes out of retirement to battle crime once again in order to keep his daughters safe. The series comes from writer-director Salim Akil (The Game), and it will return for a second season on October 9th.
“Black Lightning successfully walks the line between advocacy and entertainment thanks to deft storytelling and a sense of when to be obvious and when to pull back.” —Lorraine Ali, Los Angeles Times
