A side note, for side characters, the tatooed racist biker guy being resleeved as the grandma, and the random dude used to as a sleeve for the hacker did such a great job in projecting these characters from within. Especially the biker guy. It started as a "haha, racist biker guy is now a hispanic grandma" but by the time he/she departs you don't even notice it's a bearded tatooed biker guy--it's her grandma. Just excellent!
A B it was such great acting
I really did appreciate that dudes performance. He was briefly the crazy Russian guy too. Really great range in a short amount of time.
@The Pacifist Gamer it's been a quick minute, but did dude not have swastikas tattooed on him? Also wasn't it heavily implied if not directly referenced at one point (I think Ortega was complaining about the quality of her grandma's reskin)?
It was a memorable moment for me of good acting. At first sight I thought how is this guy going to play the grandma. And then he started speaking, and moving, and acting. I was blown away by his portrayal.
Right!!! That is such an amazing feat
She is correct it is fucking brilliant.
I absolutely love this show. Binged the entire season between last night and this morning.. I went back to the first episode after watching episode 8 to reference some scene, then I found myself rewatching all the episodes (before I watched the last 2). I'm glad I did so; it gave me a chance to catch several details that I missed the first time around. One the other hand, I fast forwarded through most of Ortega's appearances. I don't hate her character, I just don't care for her so much (plus, I really wanted to watch the last 2 eps!). Oh, one question: does everyone speak all languages? A few of the characters were switching between their native languages and english, and no one batted an eyelash, or asked for clarification at all.
One another note, I have gotten the book.How can I not? I'm sure that there's so much more to this world, I'm up to chapter 10, and there a a lot of changes so far. Glad I was able to appreciate the show on it's own merit before I read the book.
You forget, there was a "human" moment b/t Quell & Takeshi on the lake when she's explaining the whole stack thing.
This has become my favourite Altered Carbon review on two accounts:
1. Someone FINALLY talks about the deeply entrenched themes of the moral and existential horrors of end stage capitalism in cyberpunk, and why AC goes to show that this is ultimately a BAD thing. Like the show goes to great lengths to point out, death was the ultimate equaliser: regardless of who you are, eventually at one point, you are going to die. With the Meths basically having commodified life and death itself, AC actually poses a very pointed question of 'If the ultra-wealthy have commodified death to the point of immortality, what does it even mean to be human in the future?'
And finally, perhaps most importantly of all
2. Y'all ACTUALLY know how to pronounce Takeshi's last name. I'm serious. Before this, I'd watch two videos in succession where the creators COULD NOT for the life of them, pronounce Takeshi's last name. Drove me mad.
Keep up the awesome work, guys.
Do yourself a favour and watch these two series, Altered Carbon and Sense8. Masterpieces!
I was confused with the 2 different adult asain Kovacs. Can anyone shed light?
Preston Clark One is his birthsleeve, the other the sleeve he wore immediately before he was iced.
M0ebius Thx. So they were different sleeves, not just different ages of the same sleeve?
In that early scene he mentions that he is an a hole every time, every sleeve, so it sounds like he did use up a few at that point.
It's better than GoT
The thing with Rei's character is that she's the embodiment of what happens to a perfectly normal, caring person when they are subjected to life in this world. She's the very definition of why Quell arrived at the decision to limit human life to 100 years. So Rei is validation for Takeshi that the path of the Envoy was correct. What they were fighting for was the right cause.
Accurate, well said - ruclips.net/video/j8tQV_ko-Mo/видео.html
Rei is weirdly capricious and detached from human values the way all of the Meths are.
Poe was one of the best characters on it. Awesome show!
RIP Hotel Lobby AI British guy.
Glad he got to feel human in the end
The only thing is, I'm certain Edgar Allen Poe was American. Why did the AI go British if it was trying to impersonate him?
Dan Keeling he was an A.I.(might have been the programming), and American accents sounded more British back then
Poe was the best :(
BiGKiDXavieR Holloman, not exactly both american and british accents diverged in their own way (and there are many variations even within those categories).
If Blade Runner and Total Recall had a love child it would be Altered Carbon. Just finished binge watching and I loved it.
Vixx Adams in glad I’m not the only person that got a blade runner vibe
Loved it, couldn't stop binging this series. Definitely my new favorite show.
Werner van Alphen same
I'm pretty sure Kovach's sister was one kiss on the lips away from having one of those Onee-chan complexes you see in anime
i was so certain they were gonna bone.
😂😂😂😂😂 wow im so ashamed i know what your talking about!
I think she would have gone for it if Tak didn't recognize her in Ortega's sleeve.
Takeshi's sister had some very confused relationship issues where her brother was concerned! =0 She obviously did not understand why her brother did not share her view of their relationship! =0 SERIOUSLY tristed! =0
Best sci-fi show in years ! The Expanse is also very, VERY good !
I'm like four episodes in and I wish I didn't have to get up in the morning
Audrey Lukas same I'm hooked and even though I don't have Netflix I can't wait until the next 6 episodes are uploaded.
It was very good! I hope season 2.
Audrey Lukas that happened to me too lol
So the only question for Lucy or Tam: Are you a believer?
It’s a bit cheesy in some parts but there are also moments that made you think about things that has been explored many time before in its own kind of way. The lore is pretty rich, which is nice.
The acting and writing really pulled me out of the show. I agree about the lore though. I was honestly hooked when I saw the fantasy elements and the A.I. hotels. The scene at the Raven was so great. The world kinda reminded me of Bioshock meets Bladerunner.
Over complicated.
The chip in the head would alow them to get information straight to the brain. No need for screens, contact lens, phones. It's like having a smartphone in the brain. It could enable you to go in and out of the "matrix", and A.I. will follow you everywhere as an assistant. It could all be possible using the "backup" channel. It could have gone deeper, exploring consiouness and self aware.
Oh... And no robots?!! Common!! Armored robots sleeves? It would be amazing.
Now Westworld! That was great! For me it matches Game of thrones.
I watched the first episode and I’m all in. There’s definitely a blade runner type theme underneath and the visuals are fan-freakin-tastic. Looking forward to bingeing the rest this weekend
Chris Dooley what the hell are you doing wathing this video, SPOILER REVIEW BRUH
If you thought bringing back grandma as a biker was the best part of the series give me a thumbs up!👍🤣
"Hey grandkids! I'm peeing standing up! Hahahaha!" The tattooed biker guy did a great acting job. I totally bought him as an 80 year old Hispanic grandmother.
It was pretty awesome seeing him as a junky, then a grandma, then a lunatic when bought him back as Dimi the twin.
Yeah that was really fucking good.
***SPOILERS*** The best part for me was realizing Tak's sister never really stopped being an Underworld Criminal.
Biker?😂 The guy was a nazi
He was Neo-Nazi, not a biker...
Surprised that in a 30 minute review there was no mention of the acting? There are some performances that are genuinely the best I may have ever seen on TV. A tatoo'd bearded man with a thick Russian accent one minute becomes a sympathetic, wonderful old Latina woman the next. Also the Vernon's spouse coming back in a man's skin and his slow acceptance and affection towards his wife regardless of gender was incredibly convincing. Best TV show in years on so many levels!
The acting from the main cast was bland and overacted. If acting was mentioned, then if anything, it would've been discussed as a negative, because the acting overall in this show is slightly below average. Joel Kinneman was an absolute bore. I enjoyed the Latina actress who played the cop because I believed her character, but even she was stilted by bad writing. Fortunately, the bad acting is overshadowed by how awesome the lore, the world, and the SFX are in the show. It's complete eye-candy.
The acting was very uneven in my opinion. There were some really great actors, but they are weighed down by some pretty bad actors as well.
Precisely ^
The biggest annoyance is that the MAIN ACTORS are the worst ones. Joel Kinneman is a decent actor but he was absolute boring drivel in this. No emotion at all. He literally just read the script
Yes, that tattooed sleeves actor was brilliant, he did go through three stacks in a short time and was always a very distinguishable character. Especially liked his abuela performance.
Martha higareda wow just wow!!
She was the only decent actor in the entire show. Joel Kinneman was such a bore.
Slootyboot in my opinion, Kinneman acted well according to his character. I actually liked him as the re-sleeved Tak.
Max Headroom was in it..childhood flashback.
I used to call him discount Jim Carey, they really do look alike.
I'm on episode 6 and so far it's fantastic. It's not Blade Runner, it's simpler, but it's not a bad thing. Joel Kinnaman - I never knew he's such a good actor. Dude steals the show with his subtle performance.
I loved it so much and it’s great to see a review that feels the same! I’ve honestly not felt so invested in the ending to a show in a very long time. I do take some issue with your interpretations of Quell and Rei. Both of them were idealized versions of the people in Tak’s head (Rei as the sweet sister, Quell as his inner strength) so when we finally ‘meet’ the real people they are much more than his mind’s versions of them, pretty much like anyone-the idealized and the real. In reality Quell was a person trying to lead a revolution against her own creation that she knew was a long shot at best but had convinced everyone including herself that they could win. Rei OTOH was actually a hardened woman who was sold to the Yakuza at a young age and had been abused on many levels until she fought her way to the top. Her life and Tak’s had been very different after he was arrested, so when Tak insisted that their future lay with the resistance she went reluctantly and only for him. A soldier turned revolutionary is a very romantic notion but a woman who knew only abuse, violence, and exploitation her entire youth would have no rose-colored glasses and only saw the revolution as a waypoint on her and her brother’s trip away from their hellish pasts. Without Tak’s idealism to ground her her survival mechanisms reverted back to violence, and exploitation. She lived to find Tak’s stack and get her brother back no matter what the cost because she’d lost her heart and her soul centuries ago. It may just be because I love Dichen Lachman so much but I didn’t quite expect her to be the big bad, especially coming off being one on Agents of SHIELD. Good talk. ;)
Two thoughts about this commentary...
Quell, the creator of the technology, is effectively a programmer, a software and hardware designer.
All software has bugs or potential exploits, ways to use it that it wasn't designed to be used. Probably backdoors the original coder put there... She's teaching the Envoys how to use (hack) the technology in a way others don't know it can be used... Think of Neo in the Matrix... The way she is speaking is the way a person might define rules of technology or mathematics. There's a precision to it, a system of control.
Also, with Rei, she's a Sociopath. She was broken as a child by the violence surrounding her parents (She wears her mother's necklace to remind her to NOT be like her mother) and with Takeshi forced to leave her, she had no one to rely on to help put the pieces back together, she splintered. She chose to shut down her emotional self for ever. Her complete disregard of anyone else (including her brother) except when it suits her shows that she is a full on sociopath! There is no redeeming her and her brother knows this by the end!
That explains it.. I liked Quell's character.. she's kinda like to kovac what Morpheus is to neo..
@@John-dd8kh I agree and unfortunately, season 1 was so much better than season 2
In the end, Kovac gives up Ryker's sleeve. Does that mean the actor who played Rykers sleeve (Joe Kinnaman), won't be in the second season?
Possibly. But we see Tak clone both himself and the body in one episode, so they could easily explain away Kinnaman continuing as Kovacs sleeve.
Alexander Inget but the cloned sleeve’s consciousness was terminated after Tak’s body was recovered from the crash. Only one Tak could live. So that means Ryker will have his body back and Tak buys a new one, maybe one that looked like his original sleeve.
+Mark Adair Since he's wealthy enough to buy perfect clones he can easily make another one.
But i'd preffer that they keep with the reality of the world of "altered carbon" and recast a new "sleeve" for Tak.
Alexander Inget you mean bringing in a whole new actor for him?
+Mark Adair yes
The show kinda lost me towards the end. Started storng as a Blade Runner esque commentary on the nature of humanity and the horors of our own hubris. But it seemed to devolve into just a sci fi action show.
The world building was great and the perfomances across the board were spectacular, but I'm a person who prefers slow burn type shows, so the constant action kind of turned me off. Overall a good show, but not what I was expecting.
Resident Evil movie was the reference you got from James Purefoy? All I could see was similarities with his role as Mark Antony in the Rome series.
grimmturd The the only reason I recognize James Purefoy. Never saw Rome or The Following shows.
High Rise maybe ? (Same theme of inequality).
What I love about this show was the erasure of boundaries that separate us. Religion, Race, Sexuality or Gender are all pretty much blended. We had a women inside a man and her husband still loved her. We had an Asian man in the sleeve of white man. An elderly Latina woman inside a caucasian biker. It was thrilling to watch something like this. What i hope is Netflix needs to make a 2nd season.
Also Ortega was my favorite bad ass of the show. She seemed angry because of the corrupt system she is a part of and is wishing to find ways to give the world justice.
She betrayed them because she wanted to live... Seems like a pretty good reason to me. A big theme of the story was also the concept of loosing your humanity after living too long and having too much power. This was why she became the villain in the end and had to go.
The flashback episode was one of my favorites. This show is so awesome its like Blade Runner but with more action and fun!
Absolutely a great job guys thank you for covering this awesome series 🙏
The reason for Rei's behaviour is definitely relatable... To a psychopath. And it therefore is completely believable. Why wouldn't she be one after growing up in an abusive home, witnessing her mother's death, being seperate from her brother the only person she could trust and then being sold to the yakuza and trained to be utterly ruthless. Then on top of all that to gain so much unlimited power as a Meth, and live for multiple centuries, and become completely insane. It is entirely possible that her motivations have relevance and believability.
I didn't hear you mention that Quell created the Sheath tech so she could explore the universe, and was furious that it was being misused, so why do we think she is at all dead? I am pretty sure that she was present in her training camp as a sheath. I will be shocked if it isn't revealed that she has also been alive all this time. Spreading her philosophy subversively, and making her plans, going mad the way all the other immortals seem to be going.
the original blade Runner was as straightforward and simple as it gets in (good) Sci Fi...
I don't get why everyone feels compelled to praise its complexity, while what made it great was the concept and its superb execution. It had personnality, it was not complex...
As for altered carbon, sometime the acting fell flat, and the dialogues could be cringy (but so it was in the book from what I remember.
Overall I had a blast, and I liked what was added about Ortega and her familly. And Poe as well, great change in my book (even though the original Elvis was not bad)
Also, great production value on the visual and good pacing.
however I did not like what they did with Lizzy at the end, it felt forced, pointless, and it seemed to take away a lot of Kovacs competence (which was well demonstrated in Ep 04).
And Kovacs sister's obsession with him was not well explained (shown) enough to not come out as nonsensical.
Even tought I find it understandable, because to live alone and mistrustful of everyone for so long would, I think, make anyone crazy and obsessive over anything-one they believed was trustworthy. At one point, if there is nothing you can believe in, why go on?
If this show gets a second season I really want to see more Envoy Tak, as well as the backstory to Quell. Then a season three that explores the Elder Civilization.
Already binged it. Pretty solid start.Defo need more changes in next season's.And for a fuck sake,why they dont have cameras everywhere? they can clone themselfs,jumps thru bodies and shit and the richest guy on the show dosnt have his place cammed up? come on.
The Ortega character was way too stereotypical. The angry and emotionally needy Hispanic women who would never be able to keep herself in check to maintain that job to begin with, really needs to go. I'm surprised they would portray that in today's PC culture.
Darin Moore Netflix isn’t that PC in my opinion. Watch Ozark they insult everyone
Maybe it’s because the actor portraying Ortega is just plain bad. She’s awful. Really awful.
rigobertita I thought she did great, brought emotion to her character
This is subjective perception. It's how you personally see Ortega's character. That's not what I see. I see a woman who, by virtue of the world she lives in, has no choice but to be angry and emotional, her constant grapple with reality. Fits very well with this series.
Altered Carbon is probably my favorite Netflix original. Also, I loved the episode "Nora Inu". It tied so many threads together so nicely, and it really showed why so many of the important characters in the series have the motivations they do. Brilliant series.
Maybe it's because I watched too much Futurama, but the casual way so many characters disregard their "sleeves" is really funny to me. In fact, I had a hard time taking a lot of those stuff in this show seriously because it's constantly reminding me of Futurama.
Ha! I never thought of that
I have seen Futurama for over a dozen times, yet I can see only very abstract parallels. I see more parallels with Blade Runner and Total Recall.
As for disregarding the Sleeve, ...wouldn't anyone, knowing as long as your Stack remain intact you are almost immortal? If you outlive that experience, pain is just an umpleasent experience. You gain a very high tolerance to what is happening to your Sleeve.
Oh and bonus point for Lorne reference. +sub
Angel is such a good show
My friend had the Angel puppet from Smile Time and it was the coolest
This, oh so much! Now I need to go rewatch Angel to get some of that Morne love.
I liked the series but I thought the ending was too convoluted to enjoy.
This is the first Netflix show that i binged in a week. I'm actually going to watch again.
I just love Lucy❤️
I liked the girl with the braids
Totally agree, alter carbon by far is Netflix best series ever, stranger thungs and house of cards are good but not something that would make me pay to watch. Most other shows like orange new black or crown just overrrated. This is the best scifi show in long time, its more blade runner than blade runner 2049. Awesome! Cant wait for season 2!
This show was awesome, so complicated and Intricate, with so many subplots, I am going to enjoy watching it again. During the watch there were so many elements that I forgot and was lost in, that will make so much more sense knowing the full story, as well as knowing what to FFWD thru, some scenes took forever....or so it seemed.
This is seriously the only thing I tell my friends who haven't watched it: "it's a sci-fi version of GOT, lots of sex, lots of blood and gore." I also add, "if Blade Runner and Total Recall were mashed together, this show is what the result would be."
Since spoilers are allowed here (book including)
Love the show as well as the book. I would have loved to see an ending scene similar to the book though, with Kovacs going through those doors one last time in Ryker's sleeve while Ortega watched. I liked the little moment they shared before that and how he reacted after. Ortega's "Good luck Takeshi Kovacs." was sweet but it didn't hit me as hard in the feels as the book. Regardless, I hope there will be more in the future.
I enjoyed the show for what it was. Had its weak points, but this is easily one of the best representations of a truly cyberpunk setting with all of its hallmarks (save for perhaps replacing megacorps with the individual top 1%'ers. Doesn't hurt that it had a *staggering* concentration of attractive actors.
Saw the whole show....never I would think that it would be as you would call it a Sci Fi version of GoT...It basically kinda makes sense
Ahh, I just hate how Rei died at the end. Been bummed about that for days. Season 2 going to be uncharted territory now if there is one (which there damn well better be).
The first episode was somewhat slow, but understandably so. Some would be overwhelmed by everything introduced, but if you stick with it everything is easily understandable. After about the 3rd Episode this the story and whole show just takes off at full speed. Right about when the Sister shows up things for me at least begin to unwind. It loses pace and becomes somewhat disjointed. I would almost of liked to see Someone else, using his Sisters body to trick him. The "I need you" theme got worn out really really fast. I appreciated the Flashbacks with Tak as a Protectorate and Envoy, but it's almost like they ran out of time by Episode 10 and things seem rushed. Biggest disappointment for me? I wanted some footage of the Damn Orgy Island!!!
Character/Actor wise. Poe stole every scene, Asian Tak was good, White Tak was better, Ortega was extremely one dimensional and annoyed me somewhat. Loved the Elliot family characters.
Ortega put me off the show and all the romance between them had no chemistry at all. I simply fast forward her scenes. Liked her family and the scene with the abuela, though.
Some of the best looking works of cyberpunk, for those who like Blade Runner/Altered Carbon: Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, Ghost in the Shell (the original anime), Deus Ex.
I definitely watched all 10 episodes in a row (RIP Saturday). Excellent show, everything I was hoping it would be! Now to read the book.
This show does too much Blade Runner references and allusions which become annoying very quickly. Still the idea of society effects of the memory being saved into disk is pretty cool.
What I got from this amazing show. Living forever makes u crazy. Anyone agree
Just finished the last episode, (no spoilers) In my opinion this is not like GoT. only thing in common, is that, yes any character can die, at any time, and we have boobs. :) this is more along the lines of Blade runner, in appearance, and it is a detective story of sorts. oh final note, the SFX, are top notch, this is cinema quality. good job.
Dope dope dope dope DOPE!!!
Just found the show yesterday...it's a binger...:)...Prescient technology and subversive transhuman propaganda...
Obsessed with season one Joel is character was so good he sadly wasn’t replaceable to me or at least I thought Anthony Mackey was a poor replacement, have the charisma at all to me. I get that the premise kinda has to have a replacement at some point but Anthony just did a really poor job I think season two was a major disappointment, but season one as far as I’m concerned is some of the best sci-fi/cyberpunk television ever I watch multiple times a year since it came out. I originally binged it in while in hospital recovering from surgery. Was completely zonked and captivated by it watching with head phones in the pinch black while on a Analgesic pump. Was definitely one way to experience your watch 1st through lol
Where is the other Kovac clone during the fight in the brothel in the clouds? How come the other Kovac is not at the Hotel to protect the rest of his gang ?
The setting is like a combined fan fiction of Shadowrun with GITS and Bladerunner, with a nice attention to details, but the plot... plot holes withing plot holes on top of strange character motivations.
and bad acting and bad dialogues.
This review felt like it came directly from the lady reviewer until the bloke starts talking about Ortega and how amazing she is.
Honestly loved this review by the end. I’ve seen season 1 at least 8 times. One of my favourite shows on Netflix and y’all did it justice
What i liked most is the contrast of harlan world and holy terra.. i mean Earth 😂
Earth has more a vibe of "classic" cyberpunk city.
Harlans world even though it has some similarities in desings its more clean scifi city then a gigantic megacity.
Nice video i learned a lot, ill buy the books for shure.
finished this last night, and I have to admit, the world builing in this was fantastic. I can already see many fan fics. acting is fantastic (especially Poh and Eva). the whole premise is beautiful, its in essence, a guide through fear of death. by the end you start thinking "well, maybe Humans should have limited time on earth. or what would human minds b like if they lived for 200+ years", so fascinating. I really hope they do a second season! although one major plot hole in the show, how did the Police know where to find Kovac' double on what ive dubbed 'sex island'? I thought Miriam said "nobody knows about it, not even my husband" so... did Kovac' sleeve double like, just get bored? I was rooting for him to take that offer since she made it... fuck all the fighting, GO TO SEX ISLAND WITH MIRIAM!!!
Despite it being somewhat derivative, I loved this show because: the aesthetic is just incredible (whether you like the aesthetic of this style of cyberpunk determines how much you and I are gonna be friends), the characters are really interesting and provocative, I fucking love modern noire and this is noire as fuck, it's dripping with it and it is delicious, and finally.. the setting. They have a very simple concept: The Stack. And they do SO much with the concept, that it just truly pays off of in it in practically every way. On great aspect of cyberpunk (which is seen in stuff like Deus Ex) is transhumanism, and the Stack is a brilliant intersection into that. Mechanically, I think the stack is perfect for storytelling. Just the idea of "she blew her stack out" is so evocative and intuitive and meaningful. The central mechanic of a cyberpunk story can be clumsy or limited, but not here and everything webs out of the simple concept.
One of my favorite shows ever the first season is amazing. 2nd season meh. But the first is must see I’ve watched it countless times
I enjoyed the show, now I'm curious about the book.
What about Lizzie and her family.... Did Poe create something even more dangerous within Lizzie?
Why are your videos so highly sanitized (censored by bleeping profanity and nudity) ? You treat your viewers like children even though your subject matter is mature. For that, you get a thumbs down and no subscription.
No Honey. The Expanse is Sci Fi's Game of Thrones.This show was good and immersive but it doesnt have the expansiveness as, well, The Expanse :P.
Felt like Matrix invaded the style of this series too. With the weird torture cockroach beasties and controlling Virtual world. And why are all the ladies in this show damn hawt! I mean I'm not complaining.
You'll also want to check out the RPG: Eclipse Phase - also based on the books - that dives heavily into sleeves, stacks, needle-casting, clones and stopping existential threats to the human race in space.
I'm going to be honest, I could only make it about 8 minutes into the video. The word "like" is just used way too much and it was distracting.
Quell the way you broke her down was perfect I never understood why he was in love her and FUCK WHY KILL POE!!!
People need to watch this!
Ok, side note I didnt watch the vid, but going of the title, I disagree, The Expanse is sci fi's (early; first 4 seasons) game of thrones. Have nice day
I was really confused the whole series but in a good way. Havent read the book but will now. I didnt like how it ended i thought it was kind of cheesey and predictable. I thought it could have been better. but this is one of my favorite series now! i cant wait for 2!
I like to think of the show as a Mish mash of blade runner (for the theme), Ghost in the shell ( for the sleeve aspect and and some characters) and Elesium (for the contrasts between meths and grounders and how they live) and other aspects as well
my biggest grips are that it was played back at a high frame rate and there was almost exclusively handheld camera movement, probable for budget, that bothered me and it interrupted the story.
Dude her character was amazing. She is the "leader of the revolution" is because we see her the way Covatch sees her. It's not how she really is. It's now he remembers her.
can you make video about netflix dark?
I do agree with her on the point of the world feeling real immediately. Like even without being explained excessively it feels like a future natural extension of this world similar to Blade Runner in aesthetics and the feel of the world.
Anyone have theories about Kovacs's pink backpack? Did I miss something?
I like that the whole series all the characters have good motives and their own ideals and reason for being and I disagree with your guys thoughts on quell her appearing at randomized times to Tak and only him is because he feels he failed her he loved her so much and lost her and it helps build his traumatized psyche and his connections to the choices later
I know people are loving it but it wasn't for me. Seems to much what shows like this be on sci-fi channely.
I'm about to drop in episode 4
Pretty good but the end was weak, plus the main characters two personalities didnt feel like the same guy, even though they were supposed to be.
I will definitely be back if there is a season 2, but I’m going to be slightly sad that we won’t be looking at Joel Kinnaman anymore 😂
Hey, throw shade at Marvel comic book adaptations, but Altered Carbon is a variation on the Detective Noir.
the only thing intresting about these characters is the sister clearly having sexual desires towards her brother, but they just gloss over that shit as if it was normal or the writters just didnt notice the type of character they were thinking up
it WAS F#@$@%^% brilliant .Lets see if they pay you enough to say the same for cr@ppy Season 2
i think the last three episode were weak... something was not as right as the previous episodes, but it was a good series, i enjoyed it a lot
Korvac is actually seen in 5 body, 6 if you count when he impersonate the police chief in VR
Hah you guys said it. She came across like a book. Quotecrist Falconer.
Sci-Fi's Game of Thrones is The Expanse, not Altered Carbon.
I fuckin mainlined this series in 10 straight hours then bought the book. Its sooooo good
that cop got only nerves at first but then I understood why she acting like a stalker lol
Wei Shin??? I knew there was something so familiar about him!
