Charles Murray, Kayla Cooper, and Nathan Jackson served as writers on the series. Coker noted that the majority of the series' writers are African-American, "a rarity on television". After signing on to the series, Coker was able to read the first two scripts of both "Marvel's Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones", giving him an idea of the quality of writing for those series, and how important the development of their villains was. Actor Mike Colter described the series as having "soul" and "intensity", compared to the "dark action" of "Daredevil" and the "noir feel" of "Jessica Jones". Coker described "a powerful fusion of dark drama, hip-hop, and classic superhero action" while being ""The Wire" of Marvel television, because we really deal with a lot of different issues." Jason Tanz of "Wired" likened the series to neo-blaxploitation, which Coker agreed with in that "blaxploitation is [just] black characters being able to assert themselves in a visual world", stating that he felt the series was more specifically a "hip-hop Western", comparing its characters and setting to Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" of films (with Cage the Man with No Name, for example). Each episode title of the series is named after a song title from hip-hop duos: the first season's from Gang Starr, and the second season's from Pete Rock & CL Smooth.
