Luke Cage Episode 1.01 Moment of Truth

Adaptation from Marvel's comic books, the series centered on Luke Cage (born Carl Lucas and also called Power Man), a fictional superhero, who frequently teams up with fellow superhero Iron Fist. Imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, he gains superpowers in the form of unbreakable skin and superhuman strength.

Following his encounter with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage is keeping a low profile as a sweeper for a Harlem barbershop owned by ex-gangster Henry "Pop" Hunter and as a dishwasher at the "Harlem's Paradise" nightclub, owned by crime boss Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes. When two of Stokes' employees botch an arms deal and leave their accomplice for dead, NYPD detectives Misty Knight and Rafael Scarfe suspect Cage after learning that he took over for the deceased accomplice as a bartender on the night in question. Meanwhile, Stokes works with Hernan "Shades" Alvarez to find the employees and Cage protects his landlady from local thugs demanding contribution for the "New Harlem Renaissance," an initiative spearheaded by Stokes's cousin, Councilwoman Mariah Dillard.
