Luke Cage is so popular it brought down Netflix this weekend

If you are anything like us, you couldn’t wait to get started on your Luke Cage binge this weekend.

You weren’t the only one interested in catching Marvel’s new show, so many people tuned into the popular streaming service this past weekend, it brought the service to a standstill.

The outage was acknowledged and restored by Netflix, but not before a sly nod to their newest show.
