Luke Cage

I finished this show recently and it's one of the best super hero shows I've ever seen. Season 2 picks right back up the music-filled, crime-oriented storytelling of Season 1 and does it just as well. It continues to perfectly incapsulate MCU's Harlem, analyzing the area's crime and culture in an unbiased way. A real African American superhero story that is realistic and doesn't sugarcoat anything.

Mike Colter's performance is fantastic and seeing Luke struggle keeping everyone happy in a world where the villains control is a very fascinating storyline.

The show is no doubt helped by the plethora of super entertaining villains, from Black Mariah and Shades to the new addition of Bushmaster. Even without Cottonmouth, they continue to innovate and flesh out each of their villains. They are all better than Diamondback was in Season 1.

Along with the villains, the show improves the character Iron Fist/Danny Rand tenfold in a singular episode. It also brings Luke and Misty in an interesting new direction we may never see the full result of sadly due to the cancellation of the show.

The cancellation is honestly just as sad as the cancellation of Daredevil. Hopefully we'll see Luke and co. Return in future MCU phases.
