Marvel's Luke Cage Season 1 Review [Brandon Keith Avery - JustMyOpinion.net]
Finished Marvel's Luke Cage on Netflix this morning, and I loved every moment of it. With the three series so far leading up to the Defenders being, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and now Luke Cage, the latter is far superior. I may be biased due to the fact the cast is 99% African American, but the way they represented themselves made me even prouder than I already am.
The soundtrack alone is so serious that it would bring new life to a vegetable. Some of those beats were sick, and that freestyle in episode 12 was fire! The way it took its time to give so much detail and attention to everyone's backstory was brilliant. And the women in the show, hot damn! Not only were they all strong, but rocked the hell out of that natural beautiful hair of theirs. I was smiling ear to ear at times, cheering on my couch, throwing my fist in the air. I was so excited my neighbors came a knocking on my door asking to join in. Ok that was a joke, but I would've let them in if they came. I'm so happy with how the show turned out on so many levels, and it gives the middle finger to ridiculous stereotypes that plague ours streets of Black Men in American.
On a few occasions it went in a direction I didn't think was best with what's currently going on in our country (even though they finished shooting 6 months ago), but I stuck in there to see that it was all for a greater revelation. The praise of Harlem, Black Leadership, the history of our culture, politics, and corruption all came to the forefront, in a somewhat realistic narrative that speaks volumes. Plus the way it seeded itself within the rest of the MCU was spot on! As a diehard Marvel Comics fan, and an African American I couldn't be any more happier. This is the BEST Marvel Netflix Series so far! YOU need to watch this! Who knew a big Black Man in a Hoodie could be a hero.

My Grandma's Thoughts on Luke Cage
So I told my grandma to check out Luke Cage, because I thought she would like it (though I haven't had a chance to watch it yet). Not only did she watch it, she stayed up until 3am binge watching it (we are so alike! LOL)! Spoke to her a few episodes in and she loved it. Spoke to her this morning and she was no longer a fan. I inquired why she had a change of heart, asking her not to tell me what happened on the show. She said she didn't like the last few episodes. I was confused, because I've heard so many good things about the series. So I dug deeper and found out the source of the problem. She thought the 13th episode was the end of the ENTIRE series!! So when I told her it was only the 1st of hopefully many seasons she changed her mind (including saying she no longer has to ask me to write a poor review of the series due to its horrible ending! LMBO!!) Knowing it had to end setting up for a second season, she decided she did in fact love it!! But when I told her the 2nd season probably won't be out until late next year she got upset again!! LOL! I told her such is the life of bingers like us!! Until next season, Luke Cage!! I'll binge watch it next weekend and join her in her sorrow until the series returns for season 2!!!
