I don’t want to post in the extant LC thread because I’m sure there are spoilers. So to those of you watching - presumably all or most of you also watched Jessica Jones. I never did manage to catch more than a few episodes. How important is it that I go back and watch JJ before starting LC? ---

I’d say minor importance. There are references to some things that happened in Jessica Jones but they aren’t tightly woven into things (at least through 9 episodes). Probably more helpful in understanding what the heck is going on with Rosario Dawson’s character, but still not critical. ---

There are references to it, but the Luke Cage series is fine standalone. ---

There are a few characters that appear in both\*, but it’s kind of Easter Eggy, not plot shattering. At least one guy from Dare Devil showed up, but I’m only four episodes in.
