Luke Cage


During this week, the media that I consumed regularly is 'Marvels Luke Cage'. Luke Cage is an American television that was released on Netflix on 30th September so the show is really recent. It was created by Cheo Hodari Coker and it is based on the comic book character Luke Cage.  
The shows target audience with a specific age which will have to be young teens to adults because they're the people who tends to read comic books and follow superhero media text not to mention that 'Marvels Luke Cage' is linked with Netflix's previous TV shows such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones as some of the characters in 'Marvels Luke Cage' comes from Jessica Jones and Daredevil and  Luke Cage was even featured in Jessica Jones as the main protagonist's partner but I said for teens and adult but not children because Luke Cage is not the typical hero tv show, it features a lot of violence and definitely not suitable for them. Furthermore I think that this show was targeted people from any of the class, whether it's middle class,lower class or higher class. If they're interested in superhero media text then they'd love 'Marvels Luke Cage' because this show is only on Netflix so far, so any of the class can buy a  cheap subscription or might already own a Netflix subscription. This type of media text is for Groupies and potentially for Drifters because this is a Marvel tv show which means that it is popular just like its Films and therefore it gives people a conversation and something to talk about. And for Drifters because they might just suddenly discovered 'Luke Cage' while they were browsing Netflix and starts watching it out of boredom. As I mentioned, the story between Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is connected, this means that the Drifters wont get the references in Luke Cage about Jessica Jones. I think from the 4cs, Luke Cage is most suitable for 'The explorer' because this tv show is different from others, the location in the tv show in set in Harlem which is filled by African Americans fighting for their freedom, not to mention that the tv show has famous icon features such as, Malcom X, Biggie Small etc. Furthermore, In the end, the show had a very ambiguous ending therefore it would suit 'The Explorer'
