- Black Lightning - "Black Lightning focuses on the Black family dynamic, and many of the issues the pilot tackles are taken directly from current national headlines. Themes of racial profiling, school violence and gang conflict are all touched upon in the hour-long debut, though none of it seems forced or preachy. The topics all feel natural and crucial to the series' direction instead of deterring from the overall story. The episode illustrates how there can be two fundamentally different approaches to dealing with such complex issues, with neither one presented as inherently better or worsen than the other. For example, Jefferson and local gang member Lala each want the best for today's youth, yet they go about it in different ways. One uses a gentle hand, while the other chooses a firmer, more aggressive fist." - Tim Adams (review on CBR.com)
