Code of the Streets
- Pops talks Luke into finding Chico; Luke tries to talk Chico returning; Chico isn't interested in doing that until after he has some time to think about it; Turk, who has been hanging at Pops Barber Shop, spots Chico and tells Tone, Cottonmouth's right hand man; Tone takes matters into his own hands and lights up Pops Barber Shop'; Luke survives but Chico and Pops are killed; before Pops dies Luke swears to him, something, but it was unclear what exactly it was that he was swearing
- there's so much more to this episode than that last paragraph; Misty Knight finally gets properly introduced; I'm pretty certain now that her name was not mentioned in the last episode
- loved the hoops shooting scene; love how the camera followed the shots to show they were for real
- Misty definitely didn't look as shiny as she did in the previous episode, which makes sense considering that in this one she was on the job in all her scenes and not hanging out at a nightclub
- once again overall the production values on this show were very high
- maybe it is just this episode but this season is starting to feel like a noir story, the sort of noir story where someone gets pulled into settling a score that wasn't originally their own, which is exactly the direction the story seems to be headed
- there was a discussion at the beginning, in the barber shop, about crime noir novelists some of whom I have read (Chester Himes, George Pelecanos, Walter Mosley) and some that I have not (Dennis Lehane, Donald Goines, Richard Price).
- This might be my favorite Marvel/Netflix series; up to now it was Jessica Jones but two episodes in Luke Cage is giving JJ a run for the money
- I was very impressed with the way that this episode built on what happened in the previous one
