Doesn’t sound like you were very into the show at all. Were you the only one willing or able to review it? It almost seems like you did so out of obligation.

iSí señor!

They really went out setting up the antagonism between the two, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hawk trades the Owlman mask for a Red Hood at some point setting him up for a last-minute redemption. You’re right about this episode being better than the pilot.

IIRC three seasons of each were the original terms of the deal (before the Disney takeover) so yeah, DD has probably sung his last hurrah in this iteration. I have to admit, this one comes as a surprise to me. Luke Cage was a hell of a —Juggernaut— who didn’t suffer from a weak season (IF1, JJ2) .... I’m going to hold onto hope that they optioned a Heroes for Hire spin-off, but that’s surely just an exercise in optimism.
