Luke Cage Season 1: 13 Best Moments
As bada** as it gets.
The day everyone has been waiting for is finally here: Marvel Studios and Netflix's latest collaboration, Luke Cage, is streaming in its entirety for your binging pleasure!
If you've been able to rinse the thirteen episode season already, you'll no doubt appreciate the show's mature approach to sex and violence, as well as its superb character-building and engagement with current social issues.
On the other hand, it's also got insane action sequences, hilarious quips, and more than a few shocking deaths from characters you probably assumed would be series regulars forever more.
More than anything else in its debut season, these scenes shocked, amused, and entertained. Here are the 13 best moments from Luke Cage season one (and of course, it goes without saying that major spoilers will follow)...
13. Method Man's Cameo (Episode 12: Soliloquy Of Chaos)
If you missed the recent final trailer for the show, you may have been unaware that Method Man has a riotously entertaining cameo apperance in the penultimate episode.
When Luke heads into a bodega, he interrupts a robbery where Method Man is one of the unfortunate customers caught in the middle. Cue one of the thieves, a self-confessed fan of the Wu-Tang Clan, apologising to Method, before Cage takes him and his parter-in-crime out of commission.
Luke then greets Method, praising him for his music, and the rapper gladly swaps his jacket for Luke's bullet-riddled one to help the hero blend in better.
Later in the episode, Method appears on a radio show where he talks about the incident, and even performs a rap song named Bulletproof Love that he wrote in tribute. It's legit great.
Cameos can so often come off as silly and ham-fisted, but the fact that Method can actually act made this one easy to buy into.
