Carmen Phillips Autostraddle 04/23/2018
In many ways, that's what makes the show so great. It understands that honoring Black Lives Matter first means honoring and celebrating the richness of black lives, black culture. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider 04/18/2018
If you're partial to a TV season that heavily references its pilot in its finale, then you should be pretty happy with "Shadow of Death: The Book of War" (as I am and was). Go to Full Review Christian Holub Entertainment Weekly 04/18/2018

As climactic as this season finale was, I have to say that I'm mostly just bummed that Black Lightning is over so soon. Go to Full Review Stephanie Holland Geeks of Color 08/14/2018
It wasn't perfect, but it definitely kept us invested in the characters and fascinated with the world they live in. Going forward, the show should eschew The CW standard and continue to do tight, complex 13 episode seasons. Go to Full Review Cynthia Jones Tell-Tale TV 06/19/2018
5/5

Finales can and should add baggage to a story between adversaries, especially in superhero shows and especially looking ahead to further seasons. But this felt, at worst, like an unnecessary add-on to a rivalry already teeming with mystique. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
