Opinions on 'Luke Cage' vary, with many praising its deep dive into Harlem's culture and its strong, dark atmosphere enhanced by a soulful soundtrack. The series is commended for its serious tone and complex characters, particularly the villains.

The integration of social issues and the character development are highlights, though not all episodes maintain engagement.
