"One thing you can never take away from The CW is the knack for hitting all the right cues with its DC TV shows. Black Lightning has been batting a thousand since its first season and continues to thrill fans with its unique mix of superhero lore, real-life references, and gritty authenticity. Being a Black superhero family is badass enough, but the cast brings nuance to characters that can seem outlandish and beautifully tackle a myriad of subjects like mental health care, religion, institutional racism, and police brutality. You won't regret getting sucked into this one." — Mekishana Pierre, assistant entertainment editor
