My Thoughts on Luke Cage on Netflix #StreamTeam

I am a Netflix #StreamTeam and as such receive compensation from Netflix. I feel that I must disclose this when I talk about Netflix shows and what I think about them. Opinions are 100% my own.

This isn’t even a particular #StreamTeam post that I have to do as part of the team, I just really enjoyed Marvel’s Luke Cage. Luke Cage is the latest in the various Marvel shows on Netflix. Each show is 13 episodes packed with so much action, drama and Marvel Easter Eggs.

Luke Cage came out on September 30th with all 13 episodes. I dove right in and binged all of season 1. I have been reading many Marvel titles on the Marvel Unlimited app. Reading though all the Marvel Civil War and then New Avengers and so many other titles I’ve gotten to know the story of Luke Cage and the character from the comic books. This show was so well done and I couldn’t put all of my thoughts into that one minute vlog. I cannot believe that I said Donald Faison when I meant Frankie Faison. I thought that one of the breakout stars of the show was Simone Missick as Misty Knight. She had such character. I just loved her scenes. There was s much to enjoy about this series. Mike Colter made an excellent Luke Cage. He just got that character down. I loved the Easter eggs like the Tiara and the yellow blouse. That was great! Now I have to wait to see the next series which would be Iron Fist and then The Defenders unless there is another Daredevil or Jessica Jones before that.

There are plenty of action scenes in this show but it is the moments where the characters speak to each other that are the most compelling. The relationship between Luke Cage and Misty Knight has depth and complexity. They play off each other very well. Later another character shows up and she and Luke come together in a different way. Their relationship is also complex but through it we learn even more. I need to watch the last 10 minutes of episode 13 again because of all the little things that are teased for the future. I cannot wait for it, I think I’ll have to watch all the shows again, this time with Allison. Here’s what I said in my vlog today.

I also teased a few things that I’ll be featuring on the vlog this coming week.

Dad Reflexes and The Best Beers for Netflix Shows

Dad Reflexes
Photo-A-Day #4081

Today I used those fabled “Dad Reflexes”. Dad Reflexes are those split second moments where dads save kids from certain peril. We were at Play Group and on the playground where I was able to save Andrew at the last moment from a face full of mulch at high speed. Andrew was sitting on top of the structure above. I was standing near him telling him that he needed to get down because it was unsafe. He then teetered for a moment then I saw his hands flail a bit. He pitched forward and his feet landed on the pink tube and then his whole body started to somersault forward and face first towards the mulch that lines the ground of the play area. I managed to snag him around the waist about an inch from the ground. Let’s just say that my stress level and adrenaline level was pretty high.

I need a beer.

Luckily for me, Netflix had me covered. Well, they did not send me any actual beer but they sent me a very special beer tasting placemat and some sweet Pilsner glasses. These glasses are for Netflix shows Daredevil, House of Cards, Narcos and Peaky Blinders. I had never heard about Peaky Blinders before but it sounds interesting. In today’s vlog I go through all of the pairings and they are excellent, at least for the shows I know. I’m intrigued by both Black IPA and Peaky Blinders. I’ll have to try both some time when I get a chance. I may have to try my own Netflix Sneak.
