YMMV / Luke Cage (2016) S2E13 "They Reminisce Over You"

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: Rosalie's claim to be as much a native of Harlem as anybody else might strike some people as odd, but up until The '80s Harlem was home to one of the oldest Italian communities in Manhattan. It was also one of the strongholds of The Mafia.
• Narm:
  • The scene with Mariah in the prison corridor. The guard getting suddenly killed with a prison shiv? Scary and shocking. Her killers getting suddenly killed with prison shivs? Now it's starting to feel a little silly. Mariah having a talk with the killers' boss, and then suddenly killing her with a prison shiv? Okay, at this point it officially feels like parody.
  • The incredibly on-the-nose Shout-Out to the final shot of The Godfather, just in case you didn't get the implications of the scene before then.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: D.W's reaction to Luke taking over Harlem's Paradise. The fact he has the gall to accuse Cage of selling out when he’s thrown Cage under the bus by selling the Bushmaster video, for his own personal benefit, doesn’t give him any moral high ground.
