One of my favorite things about Black Lightning are the ways that they purposefully center a Black Lives Matter narrative on a young black woman.

"Three Sevens" is so deflating. It's not necessarily a bad episode of TV, but it is rather formulaic.

This episode gets all the positive nods and hopefully, the momentum will be sustained going forward.
