Luke Cage
It came out on NETFLIX yesterday and if you liked the Jessica Jones and Daredevil series, this one ought to be right up there. Watched the first episode already and like that they aren't rushing the pace and letting the character develop. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

I watched it over the weekend. I liked Jessica Jones, but Luke Cage is so much better. Better written, better storyline, great acting. Sweet Christmas!!0

A few episodes in. Definitely not rushing it, Luke Cage is likeable. I still find it hypocritical the amount N bomb they drop but refuse to drop an f bomb or show nudity.0

I started watching this last night. It's good but I wonder how long I'll stay interested. I tend to like watching a hero develop but once they're done becoming the super hero I get bored quick.0

I didn't realize they were doing a spin off! That's exciting. Will have to watch.0
-
Pretty interesting. At first I was like, where's the action? Then after a few episodes I got used to the pace of the storytelling and actually appreciated it more.0
-
Watched the first 2 episodes so far. Definitely taking a while to get started. We'll see.0
-
I like it so far, but I didn't like that it doesn't have any Jessica Jones carryover yet, like she isn't even mentioned. I also hope they get deeper into his backstory, and explain what happened and how he came to be, and why he was in prison.
I am glad this was released when it was because I just finished all available episodes of Fairy Tale and was needing something new, since I'm also finished with Dare Devil and Jessica Jones.1 -

There's no Jessica Jones carryover. However, she is mentionned a few times, along with hell's kitchen and the nurse from jessica jones (rosario dawson) came in by episode 6. Later on, they do go deeper in his backstory, about what happened to him, and even to his wife. Apparently, there was someone else behind his wife's death other than jessica jones and Kilgrave.
Trust me, the plot thickens as you get further into the season. It's a slow buildup, but really well worth it.0 -

Yep! Wouldn't you know, as soon as I said this, the next episode I watch has the story about him being in jail? LOL I was SO glad that officer got killed. They did a good job making you hate him. I think I dislike him more than Cottonmouth. LOL Actually, I think the actor that is playing Cottonmouth is amazing.
And in the same episode Claire shows up. I really like her character. I know they are planning on eventually doing an episode with everyone together, so I wonder if that is why they are trying not to do too much carryover from one to the other?0 -

She's mentioned as the 'rebound who shot a gun in his chin' in episode 1.
I'm on episode 3, but got the bad habit of falling asleep in the middle of every episode so far (we're just watching too late I guess). So it will take a while to finish it (plus our other shows are coming back as well).
Ironfist is coming on March 17, btw.0 -

That part really bothered, because for Jessica jones, it was more than a rebound. She truly cared about him. She even mentioned it when she said she would protect the two people she cares about.

Yeah, I am really looking forward to all of the different series. But it is KILLING me to wait for the shows to continue while they work on other series. Just like their anime shows. They are so behind on those. I went on to Crunchy Roll to continue, but having to watch the commercials is driving me nuts.0 -

Totally. AND the Jessica Jones series ended with them together. So it's not like she shot him, and they never saw each other again. AND she shot him for a reason. LOL Not like it was some random, crazy, I'm gonna kill you stuff.0 -
Fell asleep in middle of first episode; never a good sign. However, enjoyed the next three episodes, albeit pacing still slow, but improving. Storyline already running thin - hoping for better plot development and antagonists.0

I loved Jessica Jones. Not loving Luke Cage. It's kinda meh to me.0

Nah it didn't end with them together. It ended with Luke waking up to find himself at jessica's place with nurse claire. After that, he just ran away. Didn't even wait for jessica to come home. I guess he went straight to harlem. But maybe they'll show something different at the beginning of Jessica Jones season 20 -
