How far will Cage go to protect and avenge his own?
jedly1 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Luke CAGE, episode 3, WHO'S GONNA TAKE THE WEIGHT? Finds Luke attempting to keep Pop's barber shop and memory alive. Take matters into his own hands, he ambushes seven of Cottonmouth's safe houses, and eventually the "bank" at the Crispus Attucks.

From street camera footage, Detective Knight believes Cage is somehow involved in what has been happening between the shooting and the attacks against Cottonmouth.

After Chico confesses to Detective Scarfe is revealed to be on "the payroll" and murders Chico, but not before Chico tells him that it's Cage who had raid his safe houses.

Cottonmouth, in a very dramatic fashion, rocket launches the Chinese restaurant Luke is eating at.

This episode was definitely an "eye for an eye" sort of deal. It's going to be all out war, but even with Cage's powers he's just one man, and he has a conscious. Despite the fact that he raided Cottonmouth's stash, he's hasn't killed any of his men.

I can see this putting people Cage cares about in harm's way. At least, even more than it already has.

I like that I don't know what Cage is really capable of. Colter plays that line very well. Will he cross the line? Only time will tell. I hope he doesn't. It's a hero's burden, but this isn't necessarily a story about heroes.

Fight night in Harlem
monsieurnikhil1231 October 2016
The episode starts with a bang and ends with a bang.Luke Cage has made his move against Cottonmouth/Stokes and he does so in a dramatic fashion.We finally get our first action sequence.We also get to meet a new character Domingo who is also in conflict with Cottonmouth/Stokes.They also reveal Maria's plans with regards to Harlem.Things got personal real fast between Luke and Cottonmouth and they are at war ,This episode offers us a glimpse of what is to come.There was also a major twist and i did not see that coming but the biggest moment came at the real end and it was my favorite moment in the entire episode ,Overall this episode gave us some intense action scenes and also some major reveals ,A pretty decent episode ,So far the battle between Cottonmouth and Luke Cage has given us the taste of the things that are about to come.

What a episode!

Warning: Spoilers
It was an amazing episode. I really enjoyed. I predicted from the beginning that he was a bad detective, and it turned out that he was. Kornel also showed some strength, but the situation is very bad for him.

Slight comedown

Maybe a slight comedown from the quality of the first two episodes, but still eminently watchable. The action feels slighter here but the plotting is workable and there are some good performances.
