I haven't even watched the first season but many who have the first half of the 2nd season said it was great by the end.

 

Any truth to that?

I finished the second season now. 

 

The first part of the first season is pretty good, but the second part is awful. 

The first couple of episodes of the second season is embarrassingly bad, but it does get better and the end is pretty good. I wouldn't say great if you compare to Daredevil, Punisher or JJ season 1 because Luke Cage is too limited by its characters and setting, but at least I wanted to watch the next episode to know what was going to happen (while I finished LC1 and JJ2 with difficulty, it was hard to keep watching).

 

Basically, when they stop with the "bulletproof black man" dabbing on YouTube, walking in slow motion in the street and using n*gga twice in each sentence to greet people passing by, and they instead focus on the plot, it gets a lot better. So weird and unexpected! 

Man, that seems to be the Netflix MCU curse.

The only two series I can think of that had good entire seasons were Jessica Jones Season 1 and Daredevil Season 1.

Otherwise the season as a whole was lackluster, or amazing first half and just a mess of a second.
