A Pretty Good show on Nefflicks from Marvel (NOT SAFE FOR WORK)




Marvel has a bunch of series made exclusively for Netflicks that are pretty good. Daredevil. Jessica James. The Punisher. The Defenders. I think the best of them is Luke Cage.


Luke is the invulnerable superhero who got his powers by being experimented on  in prison. He can not be shot or stabbed. The thing that makes this show cool is the milieu he travels in. Its set in Harlem and it doesn't sugar coat it. The crime and drugs are front and center. It is not blamed on the white man. It is blamed on the human condition. So it rings true.


Plus the music is way cool. Especially in the club that is a stand in for the Apollo that is part of every episode.


Catch it if you can.

Luke Cage looks good. The next video up, Bruce Bruce, is hilarious if you can stand him. He's like a black Don Rickles. Nobody's safe around him.

Dark dark dungeon world
When all we need is space and light;
What what is the appeal
Of walled-in shut-down fright?
