Altered Carbon is based on the 2002 novel by Richard K. Morgan. Set in the distant future, where a person’s consciousness can be transferred to another body, it follows a dead soldier named Takeshi Kovacs, who is resurrected and brought to Earth. There, he’s hired by Earth’s wealthiest man, Laurens Bancroft, who wants Kovacs to investigate his murder. Netflix has adapted the cyberpunk novel, and will begin airing its 10-episode season on February 2nd, 2018.

Trailer looked spot-on. Gonna be a binge-show, I think. Haha. Anyone know if The Expanse is coming back soon?
I’m sick as a dog and can’t really do much but zone out in front of something in a NyQuil induced haze right now, so that may have something to do with it, but this show is confusing the hell out of me right now. Should I wait until I’m not quite so brain fogged to watch it?
Didn't seem that confusing to me, but I read the books a couple of years ago. My brother hadn't read the books, though, and he didn't seem to have any problems. We binged the whole series last night and loved it. Now I want MORE!
With all the flashbacks, I can see how a bit of Nyquil could mess you up. I'm on the second episode. Not shabby. Liking it so far. Poe might be one of my fave chars so far.
What’s not to like about a hotel that comes equipped with Gatling guns and a fanatical devotion to its guests?
Spoiler: season one spoiler for Poa (kinda) I love that he's AI... that kinda surprised me... great side-character, tho! Guests DO receive all the help they need lol
Now... the main guy... I think they could've done better with someone else for the role? He kinda reminds me of someone from Killjoys... I dunno. Maybe he'll grow on me. All the body/head hopping is a bit confusing too! Heh. Oh... you're in YOUR MOTHER'S sleeve? lol
This critic read my mind: "I can say without hesitation that it's a terrific show. Everything from the gorgeous production values to the excellent cast to the mystery-filled story and action-packed ultra-violence is amazing." https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikka...-fantastic-new-netflix-original/#71f3c6106963
It was very good. I found it to be a lot like Bladerunner in future dystopian feel - but with huge questions on meat suits. Jesus. Fun though.
I'm not the only one who felt this way! Haha... https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a34dxe/altered-carbon-netflix-review
