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.

New Playmobil Sets: Knights, Motorcycles and Fairy Princesses

Andrew Excited about the Playmobil Motorcycles

Recently we received six new Playmobil sets to play with and review. We received two Knights, two Fairy Princesses and two Motorcycles. Opinions of these sets are 100% my own.

When I was a little kid I had a few Playmobil figures. I had some soldiers with horses. They were some some frontier set. I enjoyed playing with them very much. My cousin had a Playmobil pirate ship and I really liked playing with that. The toys are just so simple and fun. They make for great unstructured play. You can create your own story with them. Eva is at the point where she is making up a narrative when she plays and Andrew is sort of getting to the point where he is making things up. He’s not at the point where he is creating his own stories like Eva is but he is coming along in his play. When he saw the box of toys he was very excited to start playing with the motorcycles. I had him pegged for the Superbike but he was all about the Eagle Cruiser. That chopper style cycle that looks very Easy Rider-esque. I had my eyes on that one but it was Andrew who claimed it and I got the Superbike. Continue reading New Playmobil Sets: Knights, Motorcycles and Fairy Princesses →
