It's funny
how often bad shit goes down at that club, but it still reopens the next day with a live band playing and everything.

Those live music scenes are never 5 minutes long. Why would that bother you? Just don't binge watch the show I guess.

wait for the body of the victim to stumble into the back before deciding to drive off?
Ugh, great, so I guess it's a reoccurrence every episode. Did some music label help fund this show or something?
Maybe not 5 minutes, but when the camera takes time to focus on a James Brown wanna be on stage in more than one shot, with some of the characters sometimes commenting how good said group is - shits ridiculous. I don't need it.

Watched up to episode 10. Pace is generally glacial on a scene to scene basis for the first few eps, though a lot of ground is covered by around episode 5 or so so I was pleasantly surprised.
I don't know if it's better than daredevil yet, but its definitely above Jessica Jones because the side characters are both entertaining and moderately relavant, whereas in JJ they took up an insane amount of screen time for how irrelevant they ended up being and were incredibly stupid. You had to sift through trash to get the diamonds that were the Jess/Trish/Purple Man stuff, and here everything ties together a lot better.

Was not expecting
. Am very impressed it's not another tame Marvel series.
Watchmen level slow-motion arm breaking
Lol seriously
The club is plagued by violence yet every single time the club is packed the next day like nothing happened.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I'm done episode 6 and so far Luke Cage has been incredibly boring. Not quite as bad as Daredevil, but disappointing for sure. Each episode has been a chore to get through. Cottonmouth is a good villain though.
Jessica Jones is the best of the 3 Netflix Marvel shows so far (unless the remaining episodes of Luke Cage drastically improve the pacing).

Can't unsee Burrell from The Wire out of Pop.
finished it, way better than jessica jones but thats not too difficult. still well below both daredevil seasons.
diamondback was terrible and everything to do with him was so corny and eye roll worthy.
cottonmouth was good,
mariah and shades were good as well.
reeva connors was gorgeous. some...very good casting on this show

Last I looked the title of the Show was Luke Cage. It's his story.
I'm going to leave the topic now. Apologies if I offended anyone.
Reva was indeed hot as fuck, she had that nerdy quality to her that im down with. Damn.
Just finished it also. Overall i enjoyed it. Good show. It ended well. Lot of potential implications for the next season. Wish the fight scenes were more robust, and that there were more of them. Overall i liked it more than JJ but less than Daredevil. I really cant wait when they all team up and do shit together. That be some good shit.

The angle of that can is quite the mystery. It's put down and faces the camera and when Misty picks it up you can see she doesn't spin it but the label faces her.
I'm not saying this was product placement but I'm sure it was magic. Misty is Mysterio confirmed.

not even close. Moonlight, not only best movie of the year but something I think may get him a nomination too.
this show's hella boring tbh. I really appreciate that it's practically an all black cast but the lead character is dull, and the show just moves like a glacier. it's certainly better than jessica jones but it's even harder to get through. cottonmouth is great though.
i'm only 4 in though, but i think i might just quit and get back to it in a month or two.

Wasn't that bar something he and Reva opened together? If that's the case it makes sense... He kept the bar opened after Reva died but when it blew up he basically lost the business because he never had proper ownership of it due to his name being fake, And couldn't cash out on the insurance policy or anything.
First off, music is amazing in this show. Would love to be at live performances of the bands.
I see a lot of people saying the show is slow but guess I was in the mood for it and even the title song is chill. Was mostly engaging to me.
This show is as good as Daredevil imo. Not perfect. Lots of conveniences to move the plot forward. Misty done
a lot. But at least she wasn't the lead like JJ was.

Just finished this up, enjoyed it quite a bit. It's really chill, great soundtrack, probably the best looking of all the Marvel/Netflix shows with some pretty cinematography. Colter is perfect as Cage, and the supporting cast is so good (Missick, Dawson, and Ali are the standouts). First eight episodes are fantastic, 9 and 10 kinda bring the show to a halt with a ton of padding though it gets better afterward. Bring on "Iron Fist."

It's clear
you assumed Cottonmouth would be the main antagonist and he's not. You're getting angry at trumped up expectations
Yo, this ish is some the worst acting I've ever seen. Everybody is so stiff and the camera cuts are horrendous. I love it though. Cracks me up when he decides to go all Luke Cage on some baddies.
And then they got the >stare off into the distance while I deliver this meticulous soliloquy< game on point.

Spoil up to Ep 8:
They are really replacing Cottonmouth with this corny muthafugga Stryker?
Please tell me this gets more compelling. I dont believe for a second this is the nigga in charge of the whole operation. Let Shades be in charge

Damn, someone's post just reminded me about Trish's character from Jessica Jones. I need her back in my life, that actress is obscenely attractive.
Anyways, I'm through five episodes. Love it so far. Really no complaints. All the characters are great and really getting their shine. Luke, Misty and Cottonmouth in particular are crushing it. Good stuff. I really think some of you should ease up on the hardcore binging. I like letting each episode marinate in my mind a bit. I'll probably be finishing up next weekend or so.

yep, its pretty much what happened
last eps will salvage some but yea
Regarding diamondback only have 11-13 left to go but
Well see the finale.
I think they pulled the trigger to early on this switch off. Show still great but they could have extendedthe killing of Cornell for another episode or 2. The hand off to Mariah happened to fast episode wise imo. The show is standing in his show now and it's apparent the remaining villains don't have the charisma to step up.
It's like spoiled milk that waa in the fridge for weeks only to finally be taken out with new food put in its place. It's lingering like a MFer

The Joker to Cottonmouth's Luthor. I dig it.
Me too. He reminds me of an over the top 80s villain.
Just finished. I like it but definitely not my favorite series. My issue is that the show is sometimes so cheesy and melodramatic. And man, Ending:
Something that mentioned in ep 9:
I hate Diamondback. He is just a maniac. Shades is a much better villain. Also, the ending is kind of unsatisfying. We know it is gonna be renewed, but that ending?
Something that mentioned in ep 9:
So Domingo said the Chinese are having their own thing. Is it probably related to Iron Fist?Or is it in DD s2? I haven't watched it yet.

In hindsight,
it's a Mariah storyline, and Cottonmouth was more of a piece in her arc

Seems like you are one of the fans of crime drama bout serial killers rather than about organized crime.
