Black Jesus Ratings & Reviews
The Tracking Board
Ade Adeniji
The community leader and supercharged hero both get ample time here in a way that smartly illustrates the debate raging inside.
Geeks of Color
Stephanie Holland
It's truly amazing to have a show so sure of what it is, representing the good and bad of the black community. Black Lightning just gets better every week and has become an instant classic.
Tell-Tale TV
Cynthia Jones
The series seems to be picking up momentum and delving into its prominent plot lines.
Syfy Wire
Tirhakah Love
The genius of Black Lightning is how the showrunners portray the despair Freeland faces within the Pierce-family microcosm.
io9.com
Charles Pulliam-Moore
"Black Jesus" makes clear that secrecy as a whole is something the people of Freeland could do with a lot less of.
Autostraddle
Carmen Phillips
Black Lightning is by far not the first to use super hero analogies as a metaphor to talk about being gay in America, but they are definitely going full throttle with the trope.
AV Club
Kyle Fowle
One of Black Lightning's greatest strengths in the early part of this season is its ability to take the larger issues affecting Freeland and use them to tell small-scale stories about various communities.
Entertainment Weekly
Christian Holub
I'm really excited to find out the details of Black Lightning's past battle(s) with Tobias, especially given the new information in this episode.
Den of Geek
Kayti Burt
This show continues to give me Friday Night Lights vibes, which is the highest of compliments, as far as I'm concerned.
IGN Movies
David Griffin
Black Lightning stepped up its game this week by giving Tobias Whale a backstory befitting his character.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
Not very many shows find their footing quickly, but Black Lighting is firing from all cylinders, and it's fast becoming The CW's best drama.
The Mary Sue
Princess Weekes
Despite the episode being light on some of the action parts, I do feel like the show is not afraid to call out the complicated issues around what it means to be a hero without going full-on deconstruction.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
Black Jesus was a smartly timed episode as it eased up on the incident of the week format to offer some insight as to the larger direction of the season.
