Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, May 17. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Black Lightning (The CW, 9 p.m.): Next week, The CW will turn the final page in Salim Akil’s solid Black Lightning, a great family drama that also happens to be a great superhero show. (Eat your heart out, This Is Us!)
A lot has to happen before the Pierce family gets their happy ending (it’s going to be happy, right? It won’t be Jefferson joining Felicity and Oliver in their abandoned Queen Consolidated afterlife?), and much of it concerns Tobias. He’s mayor now, so, that’s not great. But we have a feeling this episode will be. If you’re behind, it’s a good time to catch up; we’ll be dropping in on the series finale next week.
