Luke Cage on Netflix

It is finally here - the new Luke Cage series on Netflix.  Starting tonight, you can see one of the few black superheroes to grace television.  You may remember him from the first season of Jennifer Jones, but now he continues on with his own show (as Jessica Jones and Daredevil are somewhere in the background).  

At a time of turbulence in the real world, this bullet-proof black man is a novelty with a hopeful story.  A review by Decider says it is the story we need today:

Luke Cage is full of characters who say enough is enough. They decide to walk tall in the shadows and to stand up to the specters of the past. Luke Cage isn’t just a show about a black superhero — it’s a show about the superhero hidden in all of us. We can all be Luke Cage if we all just stand up for what’s right.

Amen.
