9. How Much Of The Show Will Be Flashbacks?

It was previously questioned just when the series would take place, as it wasn't clear if we'd be seeing a pre or post-Jones Luke Cage.

The answer is both, though mostly the latter. The bulk of the show is taking place after Jessica Jones, meaning we're dealing with a Cage who has already lost his wife, but we are still going to see elements of the past play out via flashback.

It's something that's been utilised to good effect by both Jones and Daredevil, so I wonder how much we'll see of it here? Obviously it'll play into his origins, but are we also going to be spending more time with a pre-powers Luke, and perhaps with his wife Reva?
