Parks, Michael (MW) Marvel's Luke Cage

Luke Cage, is a Netflix-original series by Cheo Coker, based on the Marvel Comic character Luke Cage. It is set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with Marvel movies and is the third in a line up of shows that will lead up to 'The Defenders' crossover miniseries. Mike Colter stars as Luke Cage, a former convict with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin who now fights crime. Mahershala Ali, Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, Erik LaRay, Rosario Dawson, Alfre Woodard in season one. Colter was cast as Cage, to appear in Jessica Jones first. The story is about Luke Cage trying to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight for his city. I believe it's worth watching because it has a lot of hidden messages that relate to the world we live in today. Luke Cage is the first comicbook show to star a Black hero, which I think is important because representation matters. Overall the series is great and is one of Netflix's best original shows.
