If it's half as good as Jessica Jones and Daredevil, it should be really good. I'm looking forward to The Defenders next year.

Been looking forward to it all summer. I am binge watching Luke Cage this weekend. It's great because I'm not all that familiar with this portion of the MCU so I don't have a purist hangup to hinder my enjoyment. biggrin



Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

The music is excellent and I'm liking the storylines so far. Even the dialogue is better than I expected. cool

***SPOILER ALERT***






Not really.....just a Prince reference in ep 10. It seems Cage is an MJ fan, while the supervillian, Diamondback is a die hard Prince fan. eek

Thus, their rivalry began, lol

You are in for even more juicy plot twists. The show is pretty well written.

I don't have Netflix.

Luke Cage is really good though. You should give it a try but you'd "get" it more if you watched Daredevil and Jessica Jones first.

Yeah, Cottonmouth is cool. He kind of reminds me of Avon Barksdale from The Wire.

I didn't want to say anything because I knew you hadn't got that far yet but yeah, that was hard to take. He was a good villain. Maybe it's just me but I was half rooting for him, especially after seeing some of his youth through flashbacks.

I seen a story on Screen Rant where the show's creator was talking about how he wanted Prince to appear on the show as a musical guest. The whole point about the swear jar was meant to entice Prince to take part.

Might be a long time before season 2. I read that Netflix only want 2 Marvel shows per year and next year is Iron Fist and the Defenders. They could break their two show limit if they have The Punisher done in time though. Luke Cage is definitely in the Defenders and could cameo in any of the others but I'd say we'll be seeing Daredevil and Jessica Jones before we see another Luke Cage series. I love them all so it doesn't bother me too much which comes first but I hope they don't stick with the two show nonsense. I want them all!!
