Black Lightning‘s premiere episode has already earned quite a critical response, with the show currently holding a 100-percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And judging by the response online, fans are having a pretty positive reaction as well.
“You guys are the legitimacy of doing a comic book show in the sense that the people who read comics and love that kind of material, it matters to us what they think,” Christine Adams, who plays Lynn Pierce, told ComicBook.com. “We know that this is an environment where there’s a lot of superhero shows, so the fact that it’s resonating with you is really exciting.”
Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite reactions to Black Lightning‘s series premiere.

#BlackLightning isn’t a superhero that just happens to be black. He’s a black superhero. It’s about damn time.
