It's a testament to Black Lightning's storytelling that such a familiar superhero story-the feeling of betrayal after the realization that your family has been lying about their superhero identities- feels complex and compelling.

"The Book of Little Black Lies" was another subpar episode of this CW drama. It started off so well, so it's a real shame to see the show already struggling to keep up the pace.

It's always great when Black Lightning takes a minute to slow and focus more on the Pierce family dynamics, if only because the show's cast has phenomenal chemistry

Leave it to Black Lightning, the best superhero show on TV right now (yep, I said it)...to choose again and again to prioritize emotional truth over plot mechanics.

Black Lightning has continued to not feel like a traditional CW superhero show because the characters don't behave stupidly for the sake of a questionable agenda.

To say that this show has been getting better each episode would be a huge understatement.

This is one of those Black Lightning episodes in which the superheroics take something of a backseat to familial relationships, but the performances are so powerful that it's hard to complain.

Trust seems pretty hard to come by these days between the show's major players.

Gambi even says one child he remembers hunting down for the ASA is still alive. This presents an interesting opportunity to have more powered characters on the series in future episodes.

It was great to see the show completely focus on the Pierce family and remind viewers what the show really excels at. Going forward the series should go this route and maybe veer away from the supernatural stuff.
