178: Luke Cage Season 1

Published: Oct. 11, 2016, 8 p.m.

Another TV interlude as the first season of Netflix\u2019s LUKE CAGE drops. We\u2019re joined by our friend Jamie Butlin to talk being bulletproof, series storytelling and snake-based villains. Luke Cage\u2019s Harlem is beautifully realised, the music is off the charts, and the acting is top notch, especially Mahershala Ali and Alfre Woodard. But while the show is extremely progressive in some aspects, it\u2019s treatment of women isn\u2019t great, and the pacing would have benefitted from allowing the story to breathe a little. WARNING: SPOILERS.
