    Misty Knight's partner super sucks and is dragging down all her scenes
    Episode 3 latter half
    him being a dirty shit cop makes his performance retroactively better for me

    I felt like there were more interesting things they could have done with him

    (up to the end of ep 3)
    Like there were a few scenes where I liked his and Misty's partnership, with him purposefully playing The Man so that Misty could come across as One Of Us instead and get information, and then they'd kind of wink at each other because despite what they play at to the suspects they're buddy-buddy. And I liked how he's just like, Yo, so you fucked Luke Cage right? Niiiiice, instead of being creepily possessive or moralizing about it he was just gonna congratulate her on getting a nice piece of ass.

    Him turning out to be not only a dirty cop but a super dirty murdering-witnesses cop is very blaxploitation for sure, but that made it feel really predictable.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Ep 5
    "I am the gun."

    Luke Cage roaming the streets, dropping fools left and right, and looking fly as hell in a custom fit suit to the beat of a funky bass line.

    This is pretty much what I was hoping for.

    This show is moving very quick!

    Episode 6
    Cottonmouth and Mariah both seem fairly done already. Loving this pace, but I'm hoping that it's not a similar situation to DD season 2. They burned through that Punisher arc much too quickly, given how much the rest of the season felt like fluff in comparison.

    Heck they killed Pops in episode 2, they usually wait til the home stretch to kill the older black mentor character. ;P

    Oh brilliant

    The best thing about the MCU is seeing all the little character actors populating the scenes between the shows.

    Like say:
    Turk!
    The Radio girl!
    The snake lawyer!
    CLAIRE! AKA THE NIGHT NURSE!

    I am only on episode nine now.

    And holy shit, how many Wire actors do you need, Netflix?

    Show honestly feels like first season Daredevil and Jessica Jones - real stories, with people who just happen to have abilities.

    Also the Misty actress. . .good golly.

    If the music wasn't the way it was, and it was more typical TV drama music, it would lose so much

    But the music informs the lens through which you should view it, and it's perfect

    There have been a few moments of plot weakness where things just happened because it was convenient, but that was excusable because everything else was so good.

    All in all so far this has been the best built Netflix Marvel Story. And part of that is because
    It tells multiple stories as it goes, and it concludes on multiple arcs as it goes. It starts new ones mid-game. Luke Cage gives zero fucks.

    I like the fact that the first person to drop an n-bomb got called out, and so does anyone who calls Luke that. It would have been so easy to put that word in his mouth over and over to show how "badass" he is, but nah.

    So, I am guessing that the minor spoiler from the interview regarding the
    lost phase 1 character is
    Hammer.
    Fucking Hammer.

    This might be a nitpick to some, but can we not spoil when cameos occur. I mean it pretty much ruins half the point of a cameo.

    Just starting this now, going to catch up on the thread later once I've caught up on the show, but watching the opening credits the thought struck me that some day I'd like to see Mahershala Ali's full name in the credits for something
