Luke Cage Season 1: 13 Best Moments

10. Luke Gets Shot (Episode 7: Suckas Need Bodyguards)

A scintilating cliffhanger occurs when Luke is walking down the street with Claire Temple and is shot out of nowhere by a specifically engineered bullet fired by Diamondback.

It's a shocking moment because, after seven episodes of Luke proving absolute physical dominance with little able to stand in his way, he's finally humanised with proof that he's not indestructible.

For members of the press, the cliffhanger was even more brutal, as this was the final episode released as a screener before the show was released for the public.

Sure, we all knew Luke wouldn't die, but still, seeing him bleed and react to his unexpected wounding was simply electrifying television.
