Just getting around to watching the Netflix Marvel shows that aren’t Punisher or Daredevil. Shame Disney canned all the Marvel-Netflix shows. WandaVision was terrible IMO and the Winter Solider + Falcon spin-off was better, but still lacking the hallmarks of a great television series. Thus far it feels like the new Marvel tv series only serve the purpose of padding the Disney+ library and being glorified advertisements for the next MCU films. The Punisher was an excellent Marvel series and just a legitimately good piece of television as a whole. Luke Cage on the other hand, so-so.

I thought the first season was very enjoyable and told a compelling story. Then the second season happens and it almost feels like a whole different show with the same characters. Halfway through Season 2 it starts dragging and giving too much screen-time to develop characters I don’t particularly care for. Maybe it’s just because it seems like Luke Cage himself takes a backseat to other characters during the season. Either way, I’d definitely recommend giving the first season a watch if, like me, you haven’t already seen it in the 5 some years since originally airing.
