Black Lightning: The Book of Reconstruction, Chapter Four: A Light in the Darkness
Dreams are haunting Jefferson Pierce, and the fighting he's been doing as a man is coming to hit him as a superhero – even as high powered guns threaten to fill the streets of Freeland, putting every meta at risk.
Black Lightning: The Book of Reconstruction Chapter Three: "Despite All My Rage..."
When one of his teaching staff is being crushed by life, Jefferson makes it his mission to help. Meanwhile, Jennifer tries to up her social media game, and Lynn experiments more deeply with meta powers.
Black Lightning: The Book of Reconstruction Chapter Two: "Unacceptable Losses"
The Freeland Police step up their anti-meta game, but so do the gangs. Dr. Lynn Stewart goes to extreme measures to support her family.
Black Lightning: The Book of Reconstruction Chapter One: "Collateral Damage"
The first episode of Season Four of Black Lightning is more about internal battles than high-tech drug abuse and metahuman abilities – and it's no less of of a knockout fight for all that. As a season premiere, I think it's the best of the four. A lot of that has to do with how well-developed our characters have become.
Black Lightning: Season Two
A good sophomore season, with a lot of plot advancement and many enjoyable moments. My only real complaint was the lack of pay off. Season two felt mostly like set-up for season three.
Black Lightning: Season One
When the first episode of Black Lightning aired, I watched it. And it didn't grab me, so I didn't keep watching. Where was my head? Maybe I was reaching peak superhero. Or maybe I need a show to have a few successful seasons before I give it a serious try.
Doux News: March 14, 2020
What's the latest in TV news? Coronavirus, coronavirus, coronavirus. Shows closing down production. That's the news. Oh, and Melissa Benoist is pregnant. Take care, Melissa! Don't get coronavirus!
Black Lightning: The Resurrection (Pilot)
There are many things on which I judge a new show. Do I trust the writers to tell a coherent and compelling story? Is this world believable, at least to the extent that it makes sense and is consistent? Are the characters interesting and do I care about them? And finally, is this where I want to spend my time on a weekly basis. As far as Black Lightning is concerned, the answers to the above are yes, yes, yes, and I'm not sure.
