Very disappointed so far. Seems like they just threw a bunch of ideas at the wall hoping something stuck. Four episodes in and didn't care to finish

@benhanchett completely agree with that assessment, thankfully I pulled out after 20 minutes into the first episode. it's as if they watched black mirror and the matrix and thought "hey, let's go for it."

@outspoken @benhanchett both of you completely missing the point that the story is based on a book which came out 16 years ago. Don't watch it if you don't want to, you're only doing a disservice to yourselves, but judging with only 20 minutes of viewing is worse than worse.

@raptor75 i know it's based on a book. I also read articles about how the show diverges from the book so what's your point?

@raptor75 Watched the entire first season and I agree with both @outspoken and @benhanchett comments.

@benhanchett It's not particularly fast paced but I do think it comes together well in the end.

Boring visual candy mixed with some nudity and poor acting. Very dissapointed in this show. I fell asleep during two episodes. The story is all over the place, and ones does not even know, nor really care, what the hell is going on. How this has a 79% rating (as of this writing), is beyond me. It should be way down in the 60s.

@benhanchett It seems that way, but they really didn't - Btw: It is based on books which made that unlikely to begin with...

@player8472 , just being based on a book doesn't mean they didn't grasp at straws. You can cherry pick stuff that may have been better explained or setup in the books.

@benhanchett well, slow-burn is characteristics of cyberpunk, a genre that has existed way before Black Mirror. They turned Season 2 to be some kind of action adventure shit because of dumb Transformer-loving reviews like this one.

A dark and interesting speculation on a wold long past the singularity, where human consciousness can be downloaded and plugged into different bodies (or sleeves). What becomes of humanity in a world with such power and an ever widening gulf between wealth and poverty?

They should make Ortega the main character and change the show's title to _Altered Cabrón_.

Before watching, I expected this would be a good cyberpunk, but no...
In reality, Altered Carbon is weak, extremely weak even.
To the point I actually have to say that I would suspect the majority like this series based on the reason why it has an M-rating, which is the nudity.
Sure, it doesn't follow the amazing books of Richard K. Morgan in quite some ways, but far more importantly, it is actually quite boring.
I could give a long explanation, but I know I can expect people to be against me for saying this regardless, so let me just be short about it.
Among the problems are: scenes that feel unfinished, too many filler scenes, sloppy acting, and explanations that feel to be repeating forever throughout episodes.
Also, missing the understanding of the importance appearance, like the impossible way how certain wounds are apparently healing throughout the episodes...
Of course, it has also good parts, like the amazing special effects.
But to me personally, the bad parts outweigh the good parts.

That are my 2 cents about Altered Carbon. Maybe you don't like it either, maybe you do like it. This is just my opinion.

This is just a passable sci-fi drama. The acting is sub par, the dialog are worse, the camera angles are pedestrian and the story line is boring. If you have nothing else to watch, you might be interested in trying to watch this. But even the ending feels like the director knew what he had on his hands, and was expecting this show to be cancelled, which wouldn't surprise me.

I immediately regreted watching this, the show is so lazily writen with unlikable generic characters one of which commits multiple counts of police brutality and body theaft just to get the plot going. That wasnt ok in 24 after 9/11 do the writers really believe its gonna be acceptable now after the black lives matter movement. Also the dialoge is garbage.

I think this could turn out great for a second season for now i'm staying at fair.

For me cut way back on the nudity. I don't need to see every female with more then 1 second screen time naked, their are other kinds of entertainment for that.

@tomfirens Yes tone down the nudity and increase the violence. Am I right? Nothing wrong with beautiful things. Sad how many have things so backwards.
