Got an hour before work and was just thinking what to watch. Aw yeaaah.

 

[Baroquemantic]

The music is excellent so far.

 

[AMUSIX]

Pacing feels so different from DD or JJ, very subdued, very much a 'soak in the city' type or deal, which I love for this. Also, there are a number of very big stylistic choices taken from classic Blaxploitation fare; some of the dialogue is very much that hyper-cool repartee, and the gratuitous sex scene fit perfectly.

 

[gimmmick]

Just finished the first episode. I'm liking the direction marvel and Netflix is taking less popular comics. The music is stellar as well.

 

[sappyday]

Dat Misty

 

[brawly]

Didn't know that the goofy dad from The Get Down is in this. The Get Down in MCU confirmed.

 

[Nyx]

Good first episode, going to watch more later.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Great first episode. Loved the clever visual of making him look like he's wearing the yellow shirt with the lighting while he was walking down the street.

Happy birthday to me!

 

[ezekial45]

The actress playing Misty Knight is FIIIINNNNEEEE

Bruh ain't that the truth.

 

[Magwik]

Ahhh it's not showing up on Netflix mobile

 

[Kalentan]

The actress playing Misty Knight is FIIIINNNNEEEE

Yeah. Holy shit. O.O

 

[Aaronology]

Didnt expect the N word on a Marvel project tbh

Really preachy about its usage though. It's rubbing me the wrong way.

Edit:

The actress playing Misty Knight is FIIIINNNNEEEE

Indeed.

 

[Dalek]

I have to go to bed but I watched half of the first episode and man it's great. I would watch it all right now if I could.

Luke is smooth when he meets Misty.

 

[Nugg]

Do I need to watch Daredevil season 2 before this?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Snap, crackle, pop.

 

[Rhaknar]

Get your hands off

Spoiler

Danny's woman

Luke!

 

[aly]

Get your hands off

Spoiler

Danny's woman

Luke!

Lmao. I know right.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Misty Knight's actress has me sweating.

Damn girl, you have everything. Style and looks.


I have to be honest, this is probably my favorite marvel tv series now.

Spoiler

Until they do Marvel Max Punisher tv series with Berenthal.

Didn't expect the N-word on a Marvel show.

Did anyone see the goofy dad from the Get Down in the barbershop? I was like I KNOW THAT GUY OMG HE WAS IN THE GET DOWN.

 

[AMUSIX]

Do I need to watch Daredevil season 2 before this?

no. Don't even need to see JJ, but they have made small references.

 

[UKUMI0]

Do I need to watch Daredevil season 2 before this?

Luke Cage is apparently set before Daredevil S02 but after Jessica Jones S01. The decision was apparently made so they didn't have to deal with the Accords. Not that it would affect the show at all, since the crossover is minimal between the shows.

 

[Aaronology]

The actress playing Knight is making this show for me, goddamn.

 

[brawly]

Got me wondering whether they'll even do

Spoiler

Danny X Misty

after this. You know

Spoiler

Luke did her wrong

 

[Deleted member 10571]

damn this is good so far. Already can't wait for the whole Defenders thing heh.

 

[NightOnyx]

Really enjoyed the first episode. Luke is still great and likeable, all the other characters are really intriguing so far and well done, and I also have to give the music some love to, it's awesome so far.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

So, is it good so far?

 

[brawly]

Misty Knight's actress has me sweating.

Damn girl, you have everything. Style and looks.

This made me laugh out loud.

 

[number11]

Misty... wow

 

[LeonSPBR]

Watched the first episode and damn this is a great start. Also guys don't do the mistake of reading the summary for the next episodes... they spoil a new character that I didn't even know would show up.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Faith Evans still got it.

Oh wait really? I thought this was after DD S02.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

This made me laugh out loud.

IT'S TRUE THO.

You can't deny it.

 

[broncobuster]

First episode is great. They really get right into it.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Best parts for me is Luke in the Pop's Barber shops... really like those conversations. Make Luke more grounded.

Yeah, but the moment when he unleashes the beast...

Makes it even better, but I agree the character moments in this are fantastic.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Episode 2

Spoiler

"Y'all Harlem niggas off the hook. I'm going back to Hell's Kitchen where it's safe."

Haha. Also, fuck you, Turk.

 

[AMUSIX]

Ep 2: ...

watch those spoilers


Ep 1:

Spoiler

love that Turk showed

 

[UKUMI0]

Oh wait really? I thought this was after DD S02.

Apparently intersecting, so far the only connection I know of is

Spoiler

that the cut that Claire Temple (nurse) had

in DD S02 will happen in Luke Cage

watch those spoilers

I didn't think that was a spoiler. But I'll edit.

 

[AMUSIX]

I didn't think that was a spoiler. But I'll edit.

you're probably right...I'm just a bit sensitive...had too many things spoiled through minor little 'non-spoilers'

 

[Baroquemantic]

It's all good. I'll keep minor stuff like that in mind.

 

[bounchfx]

just finished episode 2. I had to. This is great, and I totally agree, the music is AWESOME.

 

[PsychBat!]

The actress playing Misty Knight is FIIIINNNNEEEE

damn right

 

[illmatic22]

The actress playing Misty Knight is FIIIINNNNEEEE

Sure is

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Need these Blu-Rays of the incident

 

[y2dvd]

Solid pilot, though it didn't grip me like DD did.

Quick rundown on what I didn't like about ep1:

Spoiler

-No opening scene before the title sequence to grip you. Normally extremely effective as a series opener.
-Shameek killed Dante, left the body there, and didn't think Cottonmouth wouldn't have found out they were connected? He also stayed in town, and seemed to be willing to see Cottonmouth? I have to presume Dante told Shameek that they were hitting Cottonmouth. Shameek is either the dumbest mf or this is completeled flawed.
-Chico had to have been filled in also on the hit. Weird reaction thinking they weren't gonna kill anyone when it's a bad crew they are hitting.
-Episode was a little slow.

Only minor complaints though.

The actress playing Misty Knight is FIIIINNNNEEEE

Had me sweating, phew.

 

[AMUSIX]

heh, nm....


Finished Ep2....and now I'm watching 3, even though I need to sleep...

 

[number11]

This and The Get Down... I love how Netflix are responsible for two amazing hip hop/r&b soundtracks this year.

I loved ep1.. ep2 is even better.

 

[blackaroni]

Just finished episode 2 and I find everyone else way more interesting than Luke Cage. Enjoying it so far though.
