The good thing about Luke cage first half is that it essentially completes his origin story and episode 6 feels like a conclusion to the season. no cliff hangers or anything. The big bad is arrested and Luke is hailed as a hero. Him and Claire talk about maybe getting coffee. the end. Then 7 & 8 start and undo everything. Big gets out of jail and both have the literal exact cliff hanger. No progress is actually made. 7 ends with Luke hurt from a gunshot. 8 ends with Luke being hurt from a gunshot.
