I finished and enjoyed it. Loved all the cultural references and having spent plenty of time in Harlem and seeing what it's like now I appreciated the keep Harlem black angle. It was great to see a superhero cleaning up the community instead of dealing with supervillains.
I'm still pissed that they killed Cottonmouth
. He easily had the best performance. I figure Ali is a busy man and couldn't do an entire season but they could have had him do a bid so they could bring him back later. I wanted to see him and Kingpin link up
Bobby Fish
. That actor kills every part from Mr Robot, The Get Down and now this. Dude just has that old man swag and charisma.
Turk always in some shyt. They gotta do a standalone Turk episode running around Uptown to Hell's Kitchen causing fukkery. How you leave Daredevil and inadvertently end up causing one of the main characters on Luke Cage to get killed?
How is he not dead yet?
Dolemite...I mean Diamondback was a bit over the top for me. He was straight out of a comic book. Cottonmouth just seemed to keep things grounded to where I forgot I was watching a comic book show. Every line he said just had to much villainy in it. He's quoting bible verses and making cartoonish facial expressions
. I'm not a fan of the hero and villain being related angle either.
Mariah was cool but not as good without Cottonmouth.
Shades was miscast. I like the character but the actor sucked. He always sounds like he's reading his lines. How did he make it through auditions?
The Meth and Sway scenes
Rosario and Misty were great.
I've accepted that these shows are going to have some cheesy moments and uneven performances but I wish they could clean that up.
Overall I'd rate it:
