Marvel’s Luke Cage
NETFLIX, FROM TODAY
Superheroes have become a tiresome constant in film and on TV, but this action series, with a soulful black champion at its centre, is a welcome addition to the genre. Mike Colter returns for a second series as the pumped-up, titular New York action man. In the first episode he deals with the ramifications of last season’s climax in which he triumphed over evil but lost his anonymity. Now he’s being pestered for selfies as he tries to figure out his next move in an opening episode that’s directed by actress Lucy Liu.
