What's up
I'm gonna speak about a series called Luke Cage. Its circulation begins September 30 on the 20161 video service Netflix application and Canada on Netflix Canada.

It features the Marvel Comics character Luke Cage will be played by actor Mike Colter. The series is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television. It belongs, with Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist, the four series of the Marvel cinematic universe will end soon in the mini-series The Defenders, still on Netflix. This series is broadcast on Netflix in all francophone countries since 30 September 2016.

Mike Colter stars as Carl Lucas / Luke Cage, a former convict with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin who now fights crime. When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city

On the first episode :
Luke Cage is keeping a low profile as a sweeper at a barbershop owned by ex-gangster Henry "Pop" Hunter and as a dishwasher at the "Harlem's Paradise", a nightclub owned by crime boss Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes. Two men, Shameek and Chico, bust up one of Stokes' arms deals with help from Dante, a bartender at the Harlem Paradise. After they shoot and leave Dante for dead. NYPD detectives Misty Knight and Rafael Scarfe are tasked with the investigation. With help from "Shades" Alvarez, who works for Stokes' supplier Willis "Diamondback" Stryker, Stokes tracks and kills Shameek and retrieves his share of the money. Scarfe and Knight decide to question Cage, who had replaced Dante during his absence at the club. Meanwhile, Cage beats up and fends off street thugs, who attack his landlady's restaurant demanding contribution for the "New Harlem Renaissance" initiative spearheaded by Stokes' cousin Mariah Dillard, a councilwoman.

Great series, right?!
Did you watch Daredevil and Jessica Jones? The three series are connected in some points, like for Claire Temple character.
What I appreciate in Luke Cage is the soundtrack. Marvel finally made an entertainment (series and movies) with memorable music tracks! The opening credits music is loud! In episode 5, we have a representation from Jidenna, and this music is excellent. I put the YouTube link if you want to listen to his title. Method Man even does a song for the show and Wu-Tang is in the series playlist!

About the series, she was great, loyal to the comics character. We are plunged in Harlem, it absorb me. I like the series’ atmosphere/vibe and it’s rhythmed. I noticed some easter eggs (clins d’œil) like in every Marvel-Netflix Show. Some were easy to notice, because I read some Luke Cage comics.
Luke Cage is present in Jessica Jones series. I think in the Defenders, it’s the character I like the least. I can’t wait to see Luke team-up with is bro Iron Fist in The Defenders
Spoiler:

The villains introduced in Luke Cage wasn’t my favorites in Marvel-Netflix Series. I prefer Kilgrave from Jessica Jones series and Kingpin from Daredevil.
You say that The Defenders and Iron Fist are coming, but The Punisher is coming back also!

P.S.: Always Forward.

Hey Ivan

I started to watch daredevil. I saw the first three episodes. The story of this blind lawyer is amazing. Especially when you see how he can eliminate his enemies. It's the first time I see a blind superhero and it's spectacular! I've seen this girl, Claire Temple, on Luke Cage who help him when he got stoned!
I don't heard about the punisher I will check this but I guess it will be a wonderful series as like all movies and series featuring scene of marvel heroes Wink

Ps: Great song

On the episode 2:
After Stokes' enquiry, Cage locates Chico and brings him to the barbershop for protection at Pop's behest.
Pop's lies to agent Misthy Knight andScarfe about Chico's whereabout.
Pop sends Cage to parley with Stokes (Cottonmouth) on Chico's behalf, but one of Stokes' men, Tone, is tipped off to Chico's location by Turk Barrett and performs a drive-by shooting, killing Pop and critically wounding Chico. Luke managed to shield the boy present at the barber. Misty becomes suspicious when Cage remains unharmed despite getting shot. Angered by Pop's death, Cotonmouth kills Tone for his actions and gives Dillard the money. When Cage finds out about this, he decides to retaliate.

Yo!

Yeah, great show too Daredevil.
About The Punisher, he is performing by Jon Bernthal (who perform Shane in The Walking Dead). He is the main villain in Daredevil (season 2). Actually, he isn’t a real villain. It’s more a guy like Deadpool, a mercenary who don’t give a f*ck about killing, he doesn’t accept surrender. He is characterized by a white skull on his shirts. It’s an interesting and complex character. Netflix and Marvel just started the filming in NY this month, to be aired in 2018.

About Luke Cage, I think the real villain is Mariah Dillard. I really like Shades Cool, but you’ll discover some things about him in next Luke Cage season.
Bye!

He befriends fellow inmate Squabbles, is attracted by psychologist Dr. Reva Connors, and is forced to engage in illegal ring fights by Rackham, and crossed paths with inmates Alvarez and Comanche.
