Could be better..
30 September 2016 | by (Nowhere) – See all my reviews

Luke Cage, one half of the Heroes for Hire and sometimes known as Power Man, is the latest character to get his own show as part of Netflix's partnership with Marvel Studios, which is expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the darker aspects of heroism where the movies dare not go. Played by Mike Colter, Luke Cage had his first appearance in Jessica Jones, but now the man with the indestructible skin is front and center with his own show, simply titled Luke Cage, one that also expands the diversity within the MCU with a predominantly black cast in what is also the most socially conscious work to take place within the MCU.

Like its hero, Luke Cage packs a mighty strong punch. With a soul, funk infused soundtrack, Luke Cage has the feel of a classic Blaxploitation take on the superhero genre geared for modern times. The show takes on issues of gentrification and political corruption with pulp sensibilities that are as fun as they are thoughtful. Anchoring the show is the strong performance by Mike Colter, who probably embodies his character in manner ripped straight out of the comic books better than anyone since Christopher Reeve played Superman. With a standout hero, a nefarious villain, and a reason to battle, the pieces are in place for Luke Cage to be the best show to emerge from the Marvel and Netflix union. As a character, Luke Cage may have indestructible skin and a rock-solid frame, but as a show, Luke Cage has those very same characteristics...
