Altered Carbon - Greg - 02-19-2018
Supposedly, Netflix spent a ton of money on this. And it does look expensive. But the book upon which it is based was very dense and there is a lot to get through. Consequently, there are bunch of places in the pilot where the story grinds to a halt while they have to explain what the hell is going on.
Takashi Kovacs is decanted with his brain or stack put into a brand new body, 300 years after he was sent away forever to prison. There is a lot of detail about why he was put away and why he is so dangerous.
It does move slow. The visuals are straight out of the Blade Runner playbook There are few good fight scenes.
The Queen claimed boredom during the showing.

I claim “Awesome!” During the viewing. Enjoyed it.

I’m too stuck in the Electric Mirror Black Dreams to take on another show right now but I’ll have to check in on this because Wil Yun Lee is in it and he was formerly a great friend of TC. That was before my time there but those that knew him speak highly of him.

Glad to see our level of discourse on important issues hasn't degraded.

Hey now, I'm the last DOOMer to enter the 4eyes club, amirite? I'm still adjusting.
My new Surface Pro's facial rec didn't recognize me with glasses on. Made me very very sad.

The show was good, but I’m easily entertained. I don’t like the ginned-up love interest or the deviations from the books, but the look/feel/acting is good, so I’ll just roll with this version.
There was also an anime movie that takes place between the two seasons that was very fun; really enjoyable fights.
