0 on Black Lightning Season 3, Episode 8 - Start a fightI'm having so much fun watching Black Lightning this year. The occupation-and-resistance storyline has stayed strong thus far, and given me more than enough to chew on as a viewer. It's easily tied with Arrow for my favorite Arrowverse show right now, which is not a sentence I ever thought I'd say. Spoilers follow for Black Lightning, Season 3,…
A few of the Arrowverse shows are struggling this year, thanks in part to the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths and in part to some excellent previous seasons. Black Lightning, meanwhile, has been firing on all cylinders. So far, Black Lightning has shown us what an American occupation might look like, given us a look inside the…
You can only be pushed so many times before you start to push back. The ASA has been pushing the people of Freeland for the last five episodes of Black Lightning, and now they're ready to push back. Black Lightning is split into "books," and this week's episode marks the shift into the "Book of Resistance." It…
Following the events of Black Lightning Season 2, the city of Freeland has been under occupation by the shady government organization known as the ASA.

The third season of Black Lightning is very much ripped from the headlines, but the…
Despite being an old dude wearing glasses, ASA Agent Odell is the only one making moves right now. After establishing in the first two episodes that Freeland is under martial law by the ASA and siege by Markovian forces, it's time for action to start kicking off - and does it ever. But almost all…
While the other Arrowverse shows typically name their episodes individually, Black Lightning breaks things up into clean arcs. This season, we sit firmly in the Book of Occupation, and the occupation is affecting everyone's lives. While Jefferson and Lynn try to help an ailing metahuman in detainment, Anissa is trying to negotiate her way to safety,…
As Black Lightning's third season kicks off, the city Black Lightning protects is in a dark place. When we left off, the Pierce family had just found out that not only does the A.S.A. agent Odell know about their double lives as vigilante superheroes, but that the Markovian army has set its sights on the…
