On this podcast episode we're going over the first episode of Marvel's ' Luke Cage' TV show that originally aired on Netflix back in September 2016 (but now on Disney+). This a series of me reviewing the first episodes of the previously Netflix Marvel TV shows and seeing if the episodes hook me into the respective show or not. This is all in preparation for watching Marvel's 'Moon Knight' which premieres on Wednesday, March 30th on the Disney+ streaming network.

Marvel's Luke Cage

This gritty, action-packed drama follows the evolution of Luke Cage (Mike Colter), a man with super strength and unbreakable skin caused by a sabotaged experiment. After a failed relationship with fellow superhero Jessica Jones, Cage tries to rebuild a quiet life in Harlem, New York --until he is pulled out of the shadows and forced into a battle for his city. Along the way, Cage cannot avoid confronting his past, which he has worked hard to bury. "Marvel's Luke Cage" is the third show in the Netflix-original Defenders series.
