Shadow of Death: The Book of War Ratings & Reviews
Geeks of Color
Stephanie Holland
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.
Tell-Tale TV
Cynthia Jones
To have a male superhero considerably dependent on women is no mean feat - it screams subtle feminism.
Syfy Wire
Tirhakah Love
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.

Charles Pulliam-Moore
Black Lightning's never managed to lose its sense of hope and optimism.
Autostraddle
Carmen Phillips
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.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
This season finale neatly tied together most of the plot threads introduced over the course of 13 episodes while still allowing some intrigue.
Collider
Allison Keene
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).
Den of Geek
Kayti Burt
In many ways, Black Lightning played it safe when it came to its superhero drama, but its character work was top notch, as was its centering of real-world, racial issues.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
A compelling conclusion to Black Lightning Season 1.
Entertainment Weekly
Christian Holub
As climactic as this season finale was, I have to say that I'm mostly just bummed that Black Lightning is over so soon.
AV Club
Kyle Fowle
It's Black Lightning underlining what's been there all along, which is that Jefferson's powers aren't just life-changing, they're life-saving, not just for him but for his community, and for black bodies.
Newsweek
Autumn Noel Kelly
There's no place for that ignorant rhetoric in the Black Lightning finale. Justice is served.
