Spoilers galore here!

• What/who IS Luke Cage?
• Luke Cage in the comics
• Luke Cage, the Netflix character
• Cottonmouth
• The MUSIC/soundtrack (Can we PLEASE talk about that soundtrack? @soetzufit)

• Mariah
• The women on this show! Misty Knight & Claire Temple
• Do we really need to talk about "protection from superheroes" AGAIN?
• The setting, ambiance etc.
• After the death of Cotton Mouth, it has issues. The super bullet was rather lame. And Diamondback, who was always the great puppet master, just puts on a suit and comes fight Luke at the end in public? Really? Overall, I loved the series but I think Jessica Jones had better writing for the second half. Before that, I thought they were at least on par. @vosskah (01:23:22)
• Jessica Jones and the treatment of the black characters in the show
