[monsieurnikhil123 · 9/10 · 2 October 2016]

The show took a pause and introduces us to the origin of Luke Cage .We get introduced to Seagate prison and Luke cage's time at that prison.It also divulged into the relationship between Reva and Luke Cage(Reva who was last seen in Jessica Jones),We get to know how they both meet and how they formed a relationship.We are also introduced to Squabbles a fellow inmate and a friend to Luke cage.Shades is also an inmate and is partially responsible for Luke's powers .Shades and the inmates who work for the C.O. Rackham force him into participating in the Prisoners fight,eventually Luke wanted to get away but he was beaten by Shades and and another complicit prisoner .The Seagate's doctor puts Luke in a Healing tank but things go wrong when Rackham shows up and Luke turns into a power man giving him super strength and unbreakable skin ,Using his new found powers Luke escapes the prison and meets with Reva .In the present day Luke is successful in saving his landlady Connie.Overall i liked this episode, They gave us lots of Easter eggs in this episode we got to see Luke's costume which is a direct shot out to the Comics and also we see Reva's Pen drive which led to her death in Jessica Jones.The episode took a pause from the Cottonmouth's story line and gave us details about how Luke cage got his powers and Luke cage with his suit was Hilarious and it was a also a great nod to the comic book look.

Past

[amindostiari · 10/10 · 9 June 2021]

An episode that focused more on the past and clarified a lot for us.

A little lame

[Leofwine_draca · 5/10 · 5 July 2021]

Another drop down here with a flashback episode revealing Luke's past. The prison scenes feel by rote and the whole thing lacks the style and the vibe of the earlier instalments. I hope we get done with this stuff soon to get back to the good stuff.
