I've currently watched Luke Cage: Season 2 up to Episode 3. However, I've looked up what the people over on the Comic Board have noticed in order to see whether they've noticed something that hasn't been mentioned here yet.

They seem to be willing to assume (based on the dates on the magazine and Mariah's bank statement) that the show takes place in 2018 in the "fixed" timeline (i.e. post-Avengers 4).

However, this contradicts Jeph Loeb's statement that all of the currently produced shows will be pre-Infinity War, as well as the fact that Misty is still adjusting to life with only one arm, definitely suggesting that a lot less time than 2 years has passed since she lost it.

In Episode 2, right after the opening credits, Mariah uses the term "alternative facts", which, as mentioned previously, became a thing in January 2017.

In Episode 10, Misty mentions that today is the West Indian Parade (held on Labor Day), which is September 5 in 2016 and September 4 in 2017.

As such, the show definitely takes place in August-September. Now we just have to figure out the year. 2017 could work, especially with the reference to Daenerys saying "bend the knee".

However, the fact that Misty still seems to be adjusting to having lost her arm suggest that it's August-September 2016. It's possible that it's been more than a year and she simply had a very long recovery period (both physically and mentally), but it certainly seems shorter than that.

Either way, it definitely has to be pre-snap.
