Black Lightning is a heavy family drama at its core. The Pierce family and Tobias’ clan of broken misfits couldn’t be more different. They are, however, similar in a particular way.
I love watching all the DCTV shows, but my friends won’t let me watch with them anymore. They complain that I interrupt the shows too many times to point out things like, “Hey, that’s a story element from this or that Silver Age comic.”
I hope all of you have been watching Supergirl this season because it’s been firing on all cylinders! Season four has tackled hate crimes and transphobia while still giving us plenty of light-hearted moments.
Alright, readers, I finally get to write about Black Lightning and I could not be more thrilled! It’s such a special show and I have been dying to dive into it here with you for the Couch Club!
On Gotham last season, Barbara seemed more far gone than ever. She allied herself with Ra’s al Ghul, became the leader of the League of Shadows and began a gender war against all men. This year, she’s noticeably calmed down.

For most of us, our teenage years are both an exciting, yet confusing time in our lives. There are fun things to discover like high school parties, dating and making new friends.
It's my first time joining the Couch Club crew and I'm completely honored to be here. It's a killer column with a sterling pedigree and I’m feeling more than a little pressure because of that.
