I think they played that quite well.

Prior to Luke's arrival Diamondback as unseen and calculating. As soon as Luke showed up, he lost his #### because it wasn't expected.

So I've seen the other three Netflix Marvel series, but only the first two Like Cage. So far it's just been a gangster show. Does it turn into a superhero show or is more just for hip-hop fans? Do you think I need to watch it for the Defenders? So far I would say DD (especially season 2) and Iron Fist really lead into what the previews show for Defenders, but not really JJ.

I absolutely loved everything about Luke Cage but unfortunately at around the seventh or eighth episode, for me it all went completely south. After that point for me every character decision made little sense, the writing turned very formulaic, anything to do with the cop I would just FF and the action scenes especially one if the end battles were just laughable.

To me it seemed like they had come up with a solid eight episode premise but were asked to stretch that to thirteen which i feel really hurt the overall quality of the show. I wouldn't say the whole series is necessary viewing for Defenders maybe just the last episode to see where Luke ends up. Although if you've already watched the first two and have nothing else to watch, it might not be bad idea to finish.

Finally got around to watching this, not bad but that last episode was a little over the top.

Loved the music, this song was stuck in my head for a few days.

Yeah Charles Bradley is great.

He provided the singing voice for Krampus in American Dad in one of the funniest episodes:

What did everyone think of Season 2? I enjoyed it but I did find some of the dialogue to be quite forced and cringe worthy at parts. I was underwhelmed with Bushmaster story line, especially with how they wrapped the character up.

I am only 5 episodes in and so far I have no complaints.But I find that these shows are always 4 episodes too long. To me the biggest win is the soundtrack every episode there is a cool music moment.

The music was amazing, every single time, but the show was just meh IMO. I thought they could have done so much more but by the end of things it just felt forced.

How many times does Bushmaster insist on correcting someone by saying "Stokes"?

I swear it happened like 20 times throughout.

I said it in another thread but I flat out loved season two. It felt like what I wanted season one to be. Maybe it’s because season one was so awful, who knows. Oddly enough I disliked the one actress everyone seemed to love, I couldn’t stand the lady who plays Mariah Stokes. Weird distracted acting that took me out of every scene she was in.

I haven't liked her since she insisted on blowing up the Enterprise. Bitch is clearly clueless.

One step closer to Heroes for Hire. I'm very excited and very much enjoyed season 2.
