Having a hard time...


I'm halfway through episode 2.2 and so far the hadn't turned into Must Binge TV so far. Should I hang in there? Thanks!

It hooked me in the first 8 mins.

Definitely keep going. No reason to binge, but hang in there! It pays off

Sez you. We binged it big time. Months later Im still trying to finish Luke Cage.

season 2 starts really slow and is mostly slow til the end. i also thought it was too slow but the payoff really makes you appreciate the slow storyline.

It's actually better to follow if you watch both seasons without a hiatus of a whole year between them. I had forgotten too many plot details.

It's not an addictive binge-watch show but it's well worth watching. I particularly enjoy Rupert Evans' and Joel de la Fuente's performances. There's also fascination with what it would be like, to have these 2 super powers rule the world. Their ideologies taking the next steps, the cold war between them.

Visually it's too grey and dark looking with too many scenes in shady living rooms. But otherwise the production values are excellent.

You are right about that! We watched 2.1 last night, and it is really hard to remember some of the character nuances from what we watched last year -- months ago. I'm kind of lost, and I think I'll have a tough time getting my wife to watch 2.2.

I wish there were a place to get me up to date on all the main characters. Totally unlikely that we will go back to season 1 to figure out what's going on in season 2.
