Season 1 of Luke Cage was entertaining but Season 2 has raised the series to a whole new level... and one that I didn't expect to see from this genre. While Mike Colton may not be an Emmy winning actor in this, he does seem to embody the best of Luke. It's the rest of the cast that takes this series to unexpected heights. Missick, Rossi, Ringgold, RC Jones, TQ Jones, RE Cathey and others are all excellent. As well, Shakir as Bushmaster is dark, formidable and frightening. But the real gem here is Alfre Woodard... WHEW! It'll be a travesty if she doesn't at least get an Emmy nomination. Mariah Stokes Dillard is at times oddly sympathetic and at others she's bone-chilling concentrated evil. For my money she's the best Marvel TV series villain yet. Woodard's performances are a stunning tour de force, thankfully due in part to the writers and directors allowing the show to take the time to breathe rather rush from one action sequence to the next. Those that came looking for that type of show (just action) may be a bit disappointed, but for me THIS is what most of the Marvel shows should be. With 13 episodes there's plenty of time for the audience to immerse themselves into Cage's vivid world of well constructed character interrelationships. This season boasts a heterogeneous collection of dynamic characters written with clear motivations and a sense of purpose. The ending was surprising but a pleasant one that sets up some intriguing prospects for Season 3. I, for one, am looking forward to it.

LC was doing something wonderful in the first season, especially for the black community.
The second season has a drastically different tone regarding the use of the N-word, race-baiting and LC's philosophy on what it means to be black and what his options are. It's truly disappointing.
Tip: get back to being a inspiring and not playing a victim role narrative.

Weak superhero, weak plot, weak show. Follows luke cage as he goes around in circles beating up the same guys over and over again and doing nothing to stop the bad guys

Poorly written, poorly acted in almost every respect, tries to grandstand and Falls short. Marvels first flop to date. Unfortunate.
