When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city. Saying this show was tedious would be an understatement. First episode gave plenty of style, but it was punctuated with odd musical interrupts and a lot of talking that didn't build any plot points. I was constantly moving my mouse to see how much was left of the first episode, and that's never a good sign. I was here to watch Luke Cage, not a bunch of gangsters act tough…..and when you finally get Luke in action it's a huge let down. Normally I don't stop watching a show after the first episode, but for this I will make an exception. As stated in other reviews, it's just a slow show that never picks up pace and could probably be told in a 2 hour movie. As i said before, it is a very stylish series, and I enjoy the thematic stylizations used throughout, but that alone will not be enough to keep me coming back for more. There has to be either good action or good acting and this show has neither. This show is great. It features a cast of great actors and mostly believable plot. It is so much more than a regular action thriller marvel show! It has lots of depth and has the right amount of character building and necessary violence. The villains are unique because of their connections to Cage, but also their smarts. I find that some part are a little slow but necessary for the plot. Some parts are a little corny because of Cage being a little too likable of a character, but overall a fantastic TV show and definitely worth watching!! It is thrilling and will definitely leave you speechless. There are many plot twists that i loved. It is the type of show that is not only entertaining, but also leaves you thinking and just asking for more. I gave this a 9/10 because I believe that this show is great and leaves room for so many more possibilities.
I would love to watch this movie with my friends as it has been hyped for a very long. I will download this after I have completed my bestessay reviews works. I hope that this movie is as good as it is told to be.
