Has a slow start (It takes 2-3 episodes to get going) but it ends up being one of the best Marvel TV seasons to this date. The plot is great, Bushmaster ends up being a very well written charecter and all of the loose plots are nicely tied up in series 2, which is great considering it was cancel by Netflix due to Disney+ becoming a thing. The only issue I has with this season is that it could be a bit difficult to understand some of the stronger Jamaican accents. Ironically the older Netflix Marvel shows as miles better than the current day Disney+ Marvels shows.

This season is far too long and slow paced and it spends too much time with characters we don't care about. Bushmaster is by far the best part of this season.

Luke cage was one of my big anticipations on netflix for 2018 and after taking some time to think about the season i think it falls into the same issues as the first. The first half of luke cage season 1 was almost perfect, then when it hit half way, the show took a very different turn and changed the story up dramatically and I was left very disappointed. Luke cage season 2 does a little swap, the first half of luke cage season 2 was very boring and very dull. We are briefly introduced to the shows 2 big bad guys and that is Black Mariah and Bushmaster. In this first half we spend an awful amount of time with Mariah's character and her plot. Alfre Woodard gives a very good performance and you can tell that she is trying to give it her all, it's unfortunate though that her character is so poorly realised. We touch on her motivations and she's really just trying to replicate what was cottonmouth in season 1 of Luke cage. The second half of luke cage is far better than the first, we get to know Bushmaster more who I really enjoyed in this show overall and Mustafa Shakir gives a good performance, however it is a shame though that he is very underused in this show, he shows up every once and a while, spends to whole time on screen in the last 2 episodes and then just disappears and the show treats it like they just decided to get rid of him, that the story he and luke cage had just ended there. As far as the action scenes go, they are pretty good, especially in episode 10 and 12 which are my 2 favourite episodes in the season. Mike colter is once again great as Luke Cage and throws himself into the action scenes and is definitely playing this character with a bit more heart than he did in season 1. Now the ending. I had to watch this episode twice to try and get how I felt about it and I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss anything important. it didn't end like I thought it would and I'm sure many fans will be pleased with the ending as its very different to most of the Netflix marvel shows. I personally felt frustrated by the ending because it feels like the main plot of the show was just tossed aside, it felt unfinished and I felt like they could have stretched out the conclusion more, one more episode would have been great to wrap up the show, and because of the uninteresting character in Black Mariah if felt like the show didn't conclude properly. So overall a mixed series, some good moments and some bad, I probably think of it the same as season 1, this show is enjoyable, it's not bad but they had great potential in this show and didn't decide to flesh it out.

I liked him in the Defenders, but 2 whole seasons for him self. Lets face it he is not Jessica Jones or Daredevil. Not much better then Iron Fist.
