Though there ’s treasured little clock time in the eight - episode miniseries to totally explore and resolve something like , say , Jessica Jones and Luke Cage ’s feelings for one another , there will be some time to cover the " fractured " friendship of former line partners Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson .
