- But with something important to say and interesting new characters, Luke Cage is another win for Marvel's Netflix shows. Grounding the show is Mike Colter as Luke Cage, who takes a character people might have thought they knew after Jessica Jones and gives him the right amount of depth and complexity.

Luke Cage: Episode 2 - "Code of the Streets" Review
As the focus of Marvel's Luke Cage shifts primarily to Diamondback in the second half of Season 1, it also looses some of its confidence in what makes it so unique. While there still is some incredibly powerful imagery that reflects conflicts and debates our nation is experiencing today, some very on-the-nose in-episode commentary in the final episodes implies a lack of confidence that the show is successfully getting its message across. Luke Cage walking through a hail of gunfire is enough to make the audience understand why it's so special and important to have a bulletproof black superhero; they don't need to have it explained to them so explicitly.
But even with the disappointing second half of Season 1, Marvel's Luke Cage works a lot more than it doesn't. The show finds a convincing way for an injury-proof superhero to be in danger, and the new characters like Misty, Mariah and Cottonmouth create a fascinating backdrop for Luke's quest to save Harlem. The action scenes, though they're relatively few and far between, aren't out to top the incredible martial arts of Daredevil, but still are really cool sequences that offer some flair into Luke's brute force fighting style (except for the final battle, which ends up being as much of a letdown as Diamondback is a villain).
Marvel's Luke Cage doesn't reach the heights of Daredevil and Jessica Jones, and its flawed second half ends up diminishing what was otherwise a fantastic season. But with something important to say and interesting new characters, Luke Cage is another win for Marvel's Netflix shows. Grounding the show is Mike Colter as Luke Cage, who takes a charac...
