Is anyone else having trouble getting through Luke Cage?

just finished. I liked it. I got thru it in like 3 days.

Honestly his character is pretty boring.

Racist

3 episodes in and not terribly impressed so far. Jessica Jones had a far more interesting villain (and Daredevil too for that matter) and the fighting sequences seem to be falling short of those in Daredevil.

I'll give it time though, it took a few episodes for Jessica Jones to get really good.

I've found 13 episodes to be a bit too much for these marvel Netflix shows. Seems to drag at points. A tighter 9-10 episodes would be better.

Stranger things at 8 eps was just right imo

got thru episode 7 in 2 days

definitely going to finish the series, but now I'm in no rush - it absolutely started dragging to the point to where I'll finish it when I have nothing to do

I think i'm 7 or 8 in, and i'm the same way. I'll finish it when I have nothing to do.

The acting is terrible, the fight scenes aren't fighting scenes, it's just guns. So much drama in this show that I just don't give a shite about.

I was finally starting to like Cottonmouth when they were showing the flashbacks and how he became who he is, and then he's gone. Feels like they could have had a better story with him, that maybe he has some good left in him.

Agreed. Jessica Jones was good, but they probably could've cut out 2-3 episodes and hard essentially the same story.

I agree, the Shades guy is so damn cringeworthy.

They played this one too safe. They toy with blackploitation instead of embracing it. Cage and Iron Fist should be fun (in the blacksploit and classic martial arts ways), instead they stuck with the Daredevil and Jessica Jones model of dour. The bleakness works for those two, but not for LC and IF.

I am 6 episodes in, and I find it enjoyable enough but severely flawed. The actor is way too bland, but he has the look and does shine at moments. Coppermouth is very predictable, as is the entire series so far. Friends who have finished it told me that Diamondback is bad, but I am waiting to find out for myself.

While I am disappointed overall, this isn't a bad series. It is still engaging, and the supporting characters are good for the most part. I hope they don't follow the same model yet again fro IF, because then all of these series will begin to suffer by feeling redundant.
