Netflix and Thrill: Marvel's Luke Cage- Season 2 (Part 2)

Before I tackle Iron Fist's 2nd Season, I need to wrap this up.  I can't leave it undone...

Sweet Christmas- the battle for Harlem continues!

Bushmaster takes over in a coup, but Mariah won't go down without a fight and Luke has to stop them both!

Caught in the middle is Tilda- Mariah's Daughter- who can make the herbs to help Bushmaster, but also sort-of cares for her Mother.

Also caught up in this- Luke's Father (a late, great Actor) who wants to reunite with his Son (who he abandoned when he was sent to Prison) at the worst time.

In the middle of all this, Iron Fist has a Guest Episode and...everyone likes him in it?

It's a Festivus Miracle!

Can Luke stop the war in Harlem?  Will he have to sacrifice too much to do it?

To find out, stream away!

Not the ending that many may have been expecting.  You can agree or disagree with the choices made for Season 2- that is your right.  You certainly can't say that things haven't been building up to this point though.  It was pretty clear where this was going.  Sticking away from SPOILERS, Luke goes through an interesting Arc in the second half as he seems to be pushed towards a choice he doesn't like.  Should he kill Bushmaster?  Should he save Mariah?  Is it better for her to rot in Prison?  Is he the right man to save Harlem?  Do the ends justify the means?  This Show doesn't make choices easy for you or him- which I like.  Nothing is easy and nothing is without consequences.  It's as close to real life as you can get with a bullet-proof man, a voodoo-powered villain and, well, Iron Fist in it.  Like I said- you may not love where this goes.  Likewise, the Show hasn't changed all that much overall, so any complaints from before may carry over to her.  I point to two big things- it features KRS One and, again, made people like Iron Fist!

A solid, if controversial end to the 2nd Season.  They've been taking big, interesting risks in Season 2, so let's see if that continues...
