Marvel's Luke Cage Review: 9 Spoiler-Free Reasons It's Awesome
1. The Same But Different
Existing within the same universe as Daredevil and Jessica Jones, Luke Cage definitely fits right in with its predecessors.
It’s dark, grounded, violent, sexy, and at times funny, all of which put it in a similar ballpark to its stablemates, as do the attempts at tackling themes beyond just being a superhero, the great cast, the action, and the protector of a city.
However, it’s not just a re-hashing of those series. It hits similar beats, but very much marches to its own. The music, the way Cage fights, the setting, the characters - they all help give this show its on flavour that stands on its own two feet, while being a great part of the larger whole.
