Trivia
The "Swear Jar" in Pop's Barbershop was actually included in the show for Prince. Writer and executive producer Cheo Hodari Coker was going to show Prince the first two episodes of the show and had hoped to convince Prince perform at Harlem's Paradise nightclub in the finale of Season 1. However, Prince's untimely death in 2016 quickly dashed those hopes.

Goofs
Behind the desk in Cottonmouth's office is a very fancy type of flat panel TV that actually mechanically extends from the wall and flips the screen so that one side is a TV monitor while the other is a painting or some other form of art. In some scenes throughout the first 6 episodes or so, there is a small black reading lamp that appears only when the "art-side" is facing out, almost as if the set dressers forgot there was a TV on the other side and that the lamp would have been knocked over if anyone ever turned on the TV.

Quotes
Luke Cage: Sweet Christmas.

Crazy credits
The first season has its episode titles named after a Gang Starr song.

The second season has its episode titles named after a Pete Rock-C.L. Smooth song.

Alfre Woodard is incredible

While the storyline plods along, the characterization is strong, especially with regard to Alfre Woodard's breakout role. She reminds us of what the complexity of a villain looks like, and she explores every part of what it means to be filled with avarice, love, desire, intelligence, and hate. She makes this show better for its unsure plot at times.
