Season 2 Review:
The show is, to be clear, worth admiring for the way it deeply cares about its ensemble and their journeys--Misty (Simone Missick) in particular is well-served with plenty to do. But that’s where most of the bloat lies: long scenes, with pretty quick emotional conclusions.

Season 2 Review:
Even beyond the imbalanced plot/time ratio, there's a flatness--and cheapness--to be found across the whole run. For every one dynamic scene, whether straight-up superhero action(*) or simply a moment involving many characters bouncing off each other at once, there are at least a half-dozen lifeless two-person conversations.

I love this show. I like it too. I hope more like this come onto Netflix or Hulu.

It has a plot that keeps you interested and does a good job at really making Luke Cage a hero. However the tone can be a bit too serious and dull. Every character acts very grave and it makes the dialogue and plot development between action scenes pretty boring.

Just a really bad show. Poor acting. Colter is wooden and uninteresting but not totally his fault. Even worse writing. The villains are written like someone hasn’t read a comic since the 60’s. I finished this show because I’m obsessive completionist, but it was grueling.
