After defending his home turf along with saving New York with the other Defenders, Luke Cage (reprised by Mike Colter) has become somewhat of a celebrity with some of his supporters cashing in on the action and others just wanting to carry on with life as we know it. But when a Jamaican comes to Harlem with the intent to take over the borough while also having similar powers and abilities to Cage, Cage stops at nothing to take him down while also dealing with some bad guys and gals more closer to home too.
I will admit that the pacing in the Netflix Marvel shows tend to be pretty bad (especially in Iron Fist) and the second season is again slow with its pacing. But when it starts to get going, it actually gets pretty good. The story is somewhat tragic but works pretty dang well. The acting is good and I agree with critics in saying that aside from Colter, the standout performance of the season came from Alfre Woodard who plays the troublesome councilwoman Mariah Dillard. A big improvement over the first season which was good as well I must admit, but this season is far better and many fans will feel satisfied upon finishing it I'm sure. 9/10
