It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

LC was doing something wonderful in the first season, especially for the black community. The second season has a drastically different tone regarding the use of the N-word, race-baiting and LC's philosophy on what it means to be black and what his options are. It's truly disappointing. Tip: get back to being a inspiring and not playing a victim role narrative.

I knew nothing of this show and especially didn't know it was derived from a comic. I would see the title and keep going and I did so for about a year. The other night, nothing else was on and I selected it and I promise I binge-watched Season 1 and 2. LOL. Season 1 was decent and I was watching intensely because the 1st season sets the stage. It was interesting in that I read the comic is from back in the 70's but I love how the show reveals a modern adaptation of the comic. It works and it is refreshing. It isn't too outlandish in that you don't have people that are half person/half animal type stuff going on. There are some lines that are corny or cheesy but I accept it because it keeps the nostalgia of the dialogue from comics. I mean..it can be pretty cheesy at times. Season 2 was FIRE!!! My favorite being Bushmaster. Mustafa Shakir embodied that character so much it was crazy. I kept saying Bushmaster wants Mariah Dillard, oh I mean Mariah Stokes..(LOL) he wanted to kill her so bad he was bloodthirsty for her. I love the stories within stories. Misty and her issues, Luke and his issues, Tilda and her issues, Shades and his issues and so on and so forth. There are many layers, and plenty of conflict and Season 3 can only be better!!! I'm looking forward to Season 3!!! Sincerely, A new fan.

From all the other netflix's shows.. this one if close to Iron First in terms of boredom. Like another review said, Luke is too overpowered and there's no reason whatsoever why he did not just cleaned up house in the first or second episodes.. nobody, I mean.. it's shown that nobody and nothing can stop him.. but he just runs around kicking some random bad guys' asses and at least in the first 3 episodes.. getting told what to do by his annoying superhero groupie girlfriend Claire.. funny thing is that when it's a guy telling a female lead what to do or how to behave, she usually either bluntly tells him to take a hike or just kicks his ass.. but when it's the opposite the guy just takes the nagging over and over..Moreover, I just don't what Luke's motivation is.. and there's not much action since he ain't a martial artist like Iron First and Daredevil... he just takes a few gunshots and then punch someone and fight is over..And the plots are all over the place.. jamaican guys smoking something.. the black woman doing who knows what maybe trying to get rich.. and misty trying to adjust to her new reality.. I think her storyline is the most interesting of all.. cause it's normal and we can relate somehow..Anyway, let's hope it gets a bit better later on
