Luke Cage Season 2 Early Reviews: An Improvement on Season 1
Kofi Outlaw - Comic Book
What really works for Luke Cage Season Two, however, is how showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker and his team show no fear in really going deep into the territory of larger racial and social themes surrounding these characters... [Season Two] gets into what it is to be black -- not just in the current socio-political climate, though there is that, but in terms of a shared history of trauma, violence, and disrupted bloodlines, and what scars all of that leaves on the present. The juxtaposition of Jamaican and African-American point of view is especially interesting, and makes the Mariah/Bushmaster war a truly compelling gangster tale.
Jamie Broadnax - BGN
A sophomore season of a new show is a pendulum that could swing in either direction - you could either love it or hate it. In the case of season 2 of Luke Cage, I would weigh in on the former and say that this season was far better and stronger than season 1. The chef's finger kiss that made this season so incredible was how the story arc meanders and develops from one character to the next and builds a solid foundation that ties back to the personal ulterior motives developed back in season 1.
Merrill Barr - Forbes
[The] show’s blacksploitation roots are even more transparent this season. The color palette, the music, the pacing, it’s all very 70s, which comes with both pluses and minuses. In fact, this season even throws a little noir styling into the mix just to liven things up a bit. Overall, Luke Cage season two is a solid watch that suffers from the same problems as all the Marvel Netflix shows do. It’s too slow at times to fill out its episode count and doesn’t always utilize the super part of its superhero character to its fullest capabilities.
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw - The Daily Dot
You’ll notice I’ve written a lot about character and themes, but not much about the plot. That’s because Luke Cage’s crime storytelling just isn’t very interesting. This is less of an issue if you only watch one or two Marvel/Netflix series, but if you’re a completist—in other words, a Marvel fan, a TV critic, or a Netflix addict—then you’ll find some elements repetitive... Even still, while Luke Cage thrives when telling stories about justice and morality, it isn’t especially good at being a cop show. This may be one of Marvel’s strongest seasons to date, but the Defenders franchise needs to shake off the formula and move onto something fresh.
Rick Marshall - Digital Trends
Much like its title character, Luke Cage proudly defies expectations — whether it’s the suggestion of a sophomore slump or questions surrounding its star’s ability to carry the show. There is a sense of established familiarity with the title characters of Daredevil and Jessica Jones at this point, but even after two seasons, Luke Cage still feels like a show chronicling its hero’s formative years and taking its audience along for the ride — bumps and all. With such an impressive second season, here’s hoping that ride is just getting started.
Allison Keene - Collider
There are plenty of things this season does well, really well, but there is so much filler and narrative dragging of feet in between that it’s hard to recommend it outright. Here’s the bottom line — if you’re still watching all of these Marvel / Netflix series and you’re a dyed-in-the-wool fan, then Luke Cage Season 2 will give you more of what you’re used to. If you didn’t like Luke Cage Season 1, I don’t think you’ll really care for Season 2, but overall it is a stronger story. So if you were ok with Season 1 but are hoping that Season 2 improves, you should feel pretty satisfied by it. Maybe that’s all we can ask for (that and a Misty Knight-focused detective series, of course).

Any you guys watch yet? JJ2 was trash, defenders was a huge disappointment and iron fist was iron fist. Marvel Netflix has been a real kick in the gobblers lately

Really like how they've built up Bushmaster.
Not liking Brooklyn lacking a street level hero to protect it though. Give me White Tiger, Night Thrasher or Moon Knight or something.
