Look at the Perdis and Sange story, Anyssa found them and asked for Jefferson help, he went fought a few henchmen. Even his final confrontation with Tobias only happened because Jennifer went after him.
Yes Jefferson care about other people beyond his family, but he doesn't drive the plot, he doesn't go and have adventures, he just kind of reacts to whatever his daughters get caught up with. I get that making action scenes with Thunder must be way more cheap than making it with Black Lightning, but I just want to see Jefferson doing something that will drive the plot. And what I wish for the Superman show too, for him to have his own storylines, independent from his family.
