Luke Cage Season 1: 13 Best Moments
4. The Prison Flashback (Episode 4: Step In The Arena)
As Luke is trapped underneath the rubble of Cottonmouth's rocket launcher attack, he reminisces on his time spent behind bars, with almost the entire episode being devoted to flashbacks set in Seagate Prison.
Arguably the best episode of the series, it shows Luke in jail with Shades, his growing fondness for prison counselor Reva Connors, the Internet fighting ring he gets roped into by the prison's wardens, the risky experiment performed upon him in order to survive a beating at the hands of Shades and others, and of course, his eventual escape from Seagate.
It's an extremely tight episode that comprehensively leads us into Luke's present situation, and let's be honest, it's just awesome seeing Luke with a giant beard.
