Halfway through this season I can say it isn't as good as the first one. It features less neo-noir, less grit (yes its still harsh, but not gritty), an abundance of strong wamen (or is it a lack of normal women) and a plot that doesn't quite captivate as much as the previous. I don't like the new actor either, he just doesn't have the weird symbiont look the previous one has but all in all he doesn't appear a lot in episodes to be frank. His acting, and most of the main cast, doesn't feel like people who live in this world.
The return of Poe is great although he, as well, seems to have lost some grit.
I love the world of Altered Carbon and the possibilities are almost endless, I want to see more of this world I just wish it was more like season 1. Season 2 seemed more narrow in it's execution and that's not what an infinite world like this needs.
