Review: LUKE CAGE Season 2
Sweet Christmas. Binge-watching 3 entire seasons of Netflix takes far longer then you might expect. It’s not like a 12 episode anime that usually takes about half a day. Luckily for me though, I had a lot of coffee to help me through it all. Before I talk about the second season of Luke Cage, let me give you a brief rundown of what I think of the first season. The first season is a mixed bag. It’s like a team of soccer players did a fantastic job out on the field, but for some reason or another loses focus on the second half game. It’s almost to the point…

Ranking the Marvel Netflix Shows So Far
To date, Marvel has launched five original shows on Netflix, all of which have been renewed for multiple seasons. The shows explore a more grounded corner in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, depicting more mature stories and more realistic heroes. Many of the shows have been critically acclaimed, while some have had more lukewarm reception. With Jessica Jones recently premiering its second season, we rank all of the Marvel Netflix seasons so far… #8: Iron Fist Season 1 I’m sure we can all agree on this one. Iron Fist is without a doubt Marvel’s first Netflix misfire. While not completely terrible (for the most part), the season just feels very generic…
