This down to earth aspect applies to all Netflix marvel TV series. The action is kept realistic as well, with amazingly shot sequences with shaky cam that makes everything more immersive. The actors did a really good job delivering the protagonist and the antagonist characters as well. Except maybe for Mariah's emotional scenes where over done. The simple but the writing and plot unfold in a way that tests the heroes and villains on the same level, and messes with the viewers moral borders. Overall it's a very good TV series which only faults in very small details that simply couldn't have been done better for now. Plus the originality of the music is also massively appreciated.… Expand

Luke Cage is a great example of how to shoot about African Americans. The plot itself is not bad divided into 2 parts. The main advantage of the series, it as a screenwriter changes the antagonist throughout the season as many as 3 times. AndLuke Cage is a great example of how to shoot about African Americans.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Se dovessi votare solo la prima stagione darei un 8 pieno, interessante e ben fatta, con un cast che varia dal decente allo stellare (si veda il premio oscar Mahershala Ali, o Theo Rossi, che però non tiene testa alla performance di Sons of Anarchy).
La trama intriga dai primi minuti e non mancano i tipici personaggi "buoni" a cui ti affezioni sapendo che moriranno da un momento all'altro, né i cattivi di turno che finisci per tifare.
Lastoria ha un grosso fondo di verità storico e violento che interessa ancora di più e non va in contrasto, ma anzi accompagna, l'enorme mole di violenza (spesso resa divertente dall'assurdo tragicomico e umoristico) che non permette così di annoiarsi, non essendoci grandi punti morti e non mancando colpi di scena.
Rappresenta bene ancora una volta la situazione in cui purtroppo versano numerose famiglie nei "quartieri neri" americani (Harlem).
Insomma tutto molto promettente, dalla trama al cast e l'esecuzione dell'idea, peccato per il modo in cui va scemando nella seconda e ultima stagione.… Expand

It has a plot that keeps you interested and does a good job at really making Luke Cage a hero. However the tone can be a bit too serious and dull.

Just a really bad show. Poor acting. Colter is wooden and uninteresting but not totally his fault. Even worse writing. The villains are written like someone hasn’t read a comic since the 60’s.

La primera temporada me pareció interesante, pese a no ser una maravilla, y la segunda me pareció regulera, por lo que se queda en una serie pasable, con buenos toques, pero alargada hasta el máximo, y hace que se queme mucho la trama.

En cuanto a interpretación muy bien, así como la música, pero en cuanto a personajes y demás tramas, peca mucho. Una pena.… Expand
