They should make Ortega the main character and change the show's title to Altered Cabrón.
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.
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.
started out so nice .. then his sister appeared and everything went down the drain.
season 1 started great and in the end went downhill. season 2 is the confirmation to stop watching .
These series are mediocre at best.
Boring and dull dialogs like teenagers talking to eatch other, characters are shallow and not interesting at all with no development and no depth. The only interesting character is Poe.
Script level is "oh im lt. Ortega and you are not letting me talk to my mum on the phone? take that criminal"... How do you expect to develop religious and ethical anguments with that level, so when they tried they looked funny and dull.
Acting is bad, overacting Higareda or emotionless Kinnaman and its feels like its just a competition for whom is the coolest.
In one sentence its all pretty (cgi) and no substance (script,actors). They lost the chance to do something good here.
One of the best Scifi shows ever: dark, twisting plot, characters, cgi and special effects.
It gives a frightening possible human evolution where yourself could be downloaded in different bodies, rich people could live forever, the things and the lengths rich go to escape boredom, the gap between rich and poor and many other aspects of how our wotld might be. Brilliant.
newest season is so bad compared to the first.. shame really.. had a lot of potential
I keep coming back to this show and not because I like it. I've been trying to find anything worthwhile about this series. I've so far, come up empty handed. The characters are weak, wooden and very predictable. I found the storyline vague and confused. It's almost as if it's an afterthought. For me, this show is a tedious succession of gratuitous violence and cruelty, stitched together with a dreadful script and appalling acting. If that's your thing, you'll probably love this series. If you like your SciFi to be more cerebral. I've a feeling, you'll probably want to give this one a miss. Check it out though, as this is only my opinion.
To be honest, telling by the images I saw before I started watching the show, I have to admit, that I was expecting way more from this. In the end, what is left is that the overall presentation, the images, the CGI, was what kept me watching. The one thing I was disappointed the most of, was the bad acting. Until this show, I always have been happy with the actors on the Netflix shows, more or less, but this time it just does not felt right. In addition, I did not like the overall production. There were so many scenes, which I did not like, because I thought that they did not fit the show. The story had its up and downs too, therefor altogether I do not think, that I will watch a/ the second season, if there will be one. I was hoping for a good SciFi show, but my expectations were not met entirely. Not even close.
Just sat through two episodes and not impressed, struggling to hear the actors speak, just seem to mumble!
Season 1 was like a breath of fresh air, Season 2 was like a used shoe someone forced you to put on and walk a mile.
The universe of Altered Carbon seemed quite interesting and it definitely is my kind of show. The writing in the last third was kind of lame though. At times it looked like a fan-made sci-fi with bad lines and pretty graphics, but overall I enjoyed it a lot. Really liked Joel Kinnaman but the actress that played Rei did such a bad job my god, every time she spoke I couldn't take it seriously. I wonder how we humans will evolve and how our lives will look some centuries into the future. This show really made me think about the consequences of people living forever. The universe is too good to waste and netflix has the means, here am I hoping for a waiting for season 2!
Poe (the A.I that runs the hotel) is the most exciting character in the series.
R.I.P. Poe! :'(
Excellent show, absolutely love it! If you have issues with sexuality/nudity or violence, don't bother though.
First season: great cyberpunk thriller.
Second season: bad, boring plot that is all over the place. The only good thing left is the legendary barkeeper.
the fuck wrong with second half
Jesus!
he killed his sister
Second season not at same level of the first one at all
I went in with the expection of it being mediocre at best. Boy, was I wrong... Aside from minuscule continuity errors in the first half, I am blown away by this show's output.
The worst show I have ever seen in my entire life. Couldn't even get through the first episode. It's so boring, bad acting, story, everything. True disappointment.
I make it short: besides good scenes, some great ideas and an overall motivated cast, this show is just one thing:
style over substance
The whole Lizzie-Storyline, Jezz. What was that? Drama was created and in the next scene it's not important anymore.
I am greatly disappointed. But the production value is great.
Decent , could’ve been better.
estetically pleasing, story quite weak, most annoying thing is to see every supposedly japanese character impersonated by various asian actors ( they all looks like, in it? )
Currently halfway through and I just want to tell everybody already: Go check this out!!!
Edit: Just finished it. It's truly a remarkable series!
Beautiful CGI images, although the keen eye might occasionally spot some glitches and errors, it was truly eye candy most of the time. The story ending feels like the show might be going for some kind of super/genius heroes team, but in a way that really makes you enthusiastic to see what more they are gonna do, after this epic first season story. Looking at the detective arc of the story, I incidentally saw Sherlock-genius schemes forming and was delighted to see this - although I missed much more than I could have thought - all came together in a marvelous way!
Also for the lovers of a good love story there is more than enough to enjoy. Containing numerous twists, brought in throughout the whole storyline. Giving you plenty enough of satisfaction, excitement and anticipation on this area...
There is plenty of more to find out than the above teasers, but then I would be actually spoiling a lot. Those are just some of the many reasons why you should watch it! ;-)
All concluded: A great new sci-fi hero story, with much more up its sleeve than you would expect!
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
Boring, mystery dreck disguised as sci-fi to try to lure Blade Runner fans. #ABANDONSHOW #ONEEPISODEISENOUGH
I am totally a huge fan - of Season 1
I am totally and hugely disappointed by the shitty Season 2
How far the mighty fallen.
Season 2 is total garbage. Very sad
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 finished it all on the same night/dawn. It was intriguing and impossible to stop. I thought nothing would surprise me positively about fiction after Westworld. Altered Carbon met and exceeded expectations. It is exceptional, among millions of frames, references, concepts and aesthetics.
The villain's resolutions and forgiveness in the face of the monstrosity of the same bothered me a little, but the genius of the concept and the icons are so great that they are above the script and any other appearance of defect.
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.
Finished watching it. I think it had a nice idea, but reaching the final episodes, it felt into cliches and became more and more implausible, specially the relationship between Tak and her sister.
I've seen this done before. Very reminiscent of Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" with less likeable characters and sub par acting. YAWN. I kept watching it to see if it would get better and it doesn't. To it's credit it did have some neat ideas about Religion in the future and some good fight scenes. Overall "meh". Will not be tuning in for a second season.
Enjoyed it - my interest grew with each episode. This is well done sci-fi. People's bodies are replaceable, as long as the "core", a person's individuality, soul and memories is kept. It resides in the back of the neck.
So, people can have their bodies damaged beyond repair, yet live another day by placing the core into a suitable host body. The story starts here with that premise. It's a who-dun-it with a surprising twist.
Damn good sci-fi show about future tech and possible immortality.!¡¡!.
Eh, I found it rather disappointing. I know in the mythology of the show stack tech has only been around a couple hundred years, but look at how different culture is with just a few decades of cell phones. Am I really to believe cross sleeving would even be a thing? If the stack can receive input from drugs, how would a body's natural hormones impact? Lack thereof in a synth body? And DNA tagging? When you jump sleeves, clone? What kind of identity verification is that?
To anyone who is still skeptical about this show: give it a chance! IMO the first four episodes felt like the producers & writers weren't sure where they wanted to go with the story and character arcs, but from episode 5 and on the show is truly amazing. I won't give any spoilers, but please stick around till at least episode 5 to decide whether or not you want to continue watching.
Season 1 was pretty good. Enjoyable, somewhat substantial and fun to follow. It does tend to get a bit muddy towards the second half but manages to wrap itself quite nicely.
However, season 2 was just not it. All the depth and cohesiveness that season 1 seemed to had was hurled out the window. They didn't take time to explore anything with grace and as a result felt very shallow and disconnected.
I love this show. Altered Carbon seems to have some Westworld elements in it, especially in the intro of each episode but it's so much more trippier than Westworld. Can't wait to watch season 2.
I thought I might give this a second chance, but I had to stop at the OPSS* in S02E04. PSA: An obsessive, violent, possessive man hurting people to get back with his ex (whatever she thinks of it) is not the best choice of protagonist. But then you would have to care, and the flagrant misogyny of the whole series hammers home the point whoever ran this didn’t. Add incoherent worldbuilding, highly derivative aesthetics and the occasional bout of pretentious posturing, and the whole thing feels grossly sleazy.
* Obligatory Pointless Sex Scene
It's also worth noting that Will Yun Lee plays Kovacs' recurring original Asian sleeve, though not in the credits on Trakt. Great show, close enough to the stories for booknerds like me to love it, different enough to mean new surprises for fans of both the books and TV series. Definitely one of the best modern science fiction series, along with shows like The Expanse.
A couple of minutes in and five naked people! Make that six! I'm turning this shit off. If they are hoping nudity will keep them a float, they are either shooting for really low ratings or a cancellation. Absolutely pathetic
Setting was stolen one to one from Blade Runner. However it all looks like a cheap copy. Story so far not convincing.
Bad series with very unclear story, was a waste of time!
Gets better towards the end.
The first few episodes could be cut shorter i think, even if it only was reducing some of the unnecessary nude scenes. Besides from that i think their onto something good. Sure their is still some things that seem more like a hit or miss "we will test it out" kind of thing but if they listen to the feedback their getting season 2 should be top notch.
For me i would say lose more off the nudity (seems like every female char that got more then 1 second screen time we got to see naked aswell)
Watched the entire 1st Season. The show is good, but there seems to be a gap between the quality of the production and the quality of the writing. If the visual spectacle were not there, this would be a very 'TV show' affair if you catch my drift.
I am currently halfway through with this and damn this show uses some incredible syfy technology and has such an amazing world. So far this series has offered some beautiful eye candy.
Definitely recommend everyone to check it out.
I didn’t know much about Altered Carbon getting into it other than very basic information, having not read the books. Set in a far future, it has plenty of similarities with other media, most obviously the Blade Runner films with the visuals and a lot of fictional future elements. I found that Altered Carbon, however, had a better mix of action and drama and all the mystery and personal dilemmas were very enjoyable – taking the story as a whole, I think I enjoyed the heck out of it a lot more than the BR films.
At the core of the show is the idea of life after death, or rather, continuation of life beyond a natural lifespan through the use of new bodies called sleeves when the previous ones happen to expire. This is achieved via stacks, devices carefully inserted behind your neck, which many in the show regard as your “soul”. As long as these devices are intact, individuals are alive, though perhaps in dormant form if not located in a body. Stacks have affected many aspects of humanity, even creating the difference between a “real death” and a “sleeve death”; more importantly, though, is the fact that different society classes don’t enjoy them the same way. Preferential treatment is given to the wealthiest, with the richest of all even producing sleeves identical to their own bodies and coming up with ways so that, essentially, they can live forever. The lower class, however, must agree to whatever they can get depending on their finances, which can be a harrowing process – in the very beginning we see how a little girl involved in an accident received the body of an older woman and the family simply had to “deal with it”.
Going from this, the show spends a great deal of effort in establishing what happens with those who are all-powerful, “near-immortals”. We are presented with minds that have long been corrupted, resorting to depraved and violent means of entertainment. Laurens Bancroft acts and believes himself to be a God walking among the living (hell, they even live above the clouds) and many aspects of the marriage becomes pretty much meaningless. The daughter and son stay in the same sleeves just like their parents for centuries, which throws a wrench in the process of… becoming adults?
The mystery surrounding Bancroft’s sleeve-murder appears to be the main plot point, but eventually the family becomes sort of a secondary part of the show. The lifestyle and behaviour of the Bancrofts are preparation for us to understand the reasoning behind a massive plot twist that happens later on, definitive for the climax of Altered Carbon.
The protagonist, Takeshi Kovacs, is a hardened man who has been through four sleeves until getting to the current, played by Joel Kinnaman. Early on we start getting bits of information that he is the last of the Envoys, warriors of days past – the seventh episode (for me, the best episode) details how he became an Envoy and also shows the important, character-defining relationships with his sister, Reileen, and the Envoy leader, Quellcrist. The apparent loss of both, as well as all the Envoys in a massacre, coupled with being “on ice” for a couple of centuries, turn Kovacs into someone who doesn’t really care much for living despite the miraculous offers Bancroft makes in exchange for having his murder solved.
You would think Kovacs, who has enemies and attracts all kinds of trouble as a former Envoy, would have enough on his plate already – but as it turns out, his present-day sleeve is that of a policeman who has even more enemies. This leads to beautifully made action scenes, plenty of shootouts and also some interesting torture scenes in virtual realities where anything can happen (I found cinematography particularly good in these instances). Overall, I think they achieved a really good blend of action, dramatic moments, exposition (maybe even better towards the latter half than at the beginning). Also, worth mentioning is that is has plenty of violence and is one of the shows where I’ve seen most nudity, which may disturb some viewers – however, I keep feeling this seems specifically done to sort of mirror the entertainment of Altered Carbon’s richest where “all goes”.
I will admit that there are a few moments where it becomes slightly hard to follow the story, particularly the twists and turns of the investigation. I don’t like how Kovacs more than once “suddenly realises” all that happened and it seems we’re supposed to know instantly as well… but I didn’t. But I can’t say that detracted from my overall enjoyment. I will say, though, that were not for the twists and scheming involving Reileen towards the second half of the season, I probably wouldn’t be as excited as I am. This character seems to put a fire under the plot the moment she becomes a more prominent character in ways I found completely unexpected, easily having some of the most memorable scenes. The naked swordfight is a particular, incredible moment – hard to top as one of the most impressive of 2018, maybe (and it is only February). And with everything we have been exposed to before, her corrupt/evil thoughts and motivations become understandable despite her love for Kovacs. A great villain!
I don’t want to make this too long (too late, lol) but I’m forgetting to mention the other characters. Kovacs is assisted by multiple individuals: buddy cop Ortega, the Elliot family and Poe, an AI that is an entire hotel (adding one more layer of “peculiar” into all this). All these characters have their own hardships to deal with, further establishing the world of Carbon as a tough one for everyone involved. (Maybe for Poe not so much as for the rest… but hey, they did say AI hotels have no customers anymore, Kovacs being a sight for sore eyes when he walks in). I think all these characters’ stories (and other recurring ones as well) have been quite entertaining to watch and concluded in satisfactory ways.
All in all, this is yet another Netflix show to recommend. Beautifully crafted, great production value, great actors and a story that makes it worth your while. We will see whether it returns for a second season – the ending is conclusive enough, yet at the same time leaving plenty of room for Kovacs to return (maybe in another sleeve?)
Sometimes you just click with a show and that was the case with me and Altered Carbon. I loved everything about it. The cast was amazing and diverse, beautifully made ... everything I want in a sci-fi show. A+.
I like this, although admittedly it's lot of style over any substance. It loses itself in so mysteries of uninteresting characters. It still promises a lot, delivers lesser. It's likely to get better though with next season.
loved every episode of it. my favorite character is Poe !
Loved it ...not what I expected .just hooked me from episode 1
Spectacular ! That’s the word , thank you Netflix for this .
For me this is the pique of SciFi for adults. It delivers with an innovative and creative take on the divide between upper and lower echelons of society. Told through a gritty narrative of dystopian resistance.
I just finished Season Two, and while I thought there were moments of brilliance in Season One, I almost abandoned it in this latest season because of sloppy writing and the change of tone due to their recasting of the lead character. But, around Episode 4 (I didn’t give up) it picked up its pace and regained my interest. I agree with everyone who said that the character Poe was the glue that kept the series together in it’s rough patches. I give the series, Season One an 8 (moments of greatness) and Season Two a 4 to 7 (bad to good), rounding it out to a 7.5 out of 10 for the whole. [SyFi Drama]
Shouldn't have been canceled, the executives really dropped the ball on that call.
Season 1 way too long the show is very too pretentious except somme visual it has nothing.
really good cyberpunk story, i can fully recommend this show
I’ve not managed more than 3 episodes but this show is so boring, I cannot bear it.
It’s such a weird setting. 300 years and not a single thing has changed. The worst is, that Hollywood writers don’t seem to have any ideas and everything is so not futuristic at all. Cars? Fly, but look exactly the same and need someone “flying” but also kind of not.
Very disappointing.
Netflix cancelled this. Rip. First season was awesome, second was kinda weak. But im gonna miss it.
1st season started great, but it became boring and annoying with each episode.
2nd season is just ridiculous and a waste of time. Can't wait to see how BAD 3rd season can be...
The concept is amazing, this series could have been the best current sci-fi series (excluding space operas like The Expanse or Other Life), but they didn't think it through. It is full of plot holes, inconsistencies, and other minor annoyances that prevents you to truly love the show.
The concept of sleeves permits to change the main actor between seasons while keeping the continuity of the story, just like Doctor Who does for 60 years now, but unlike the Doctor, changing sleeves is not supposed to change your personality, so why, in the second season, Anthony Mackie does not incarnate Kovacs the same way Joel Kinnaman did in the first season?
It feels like an american remake of Ad Vitam: same idea about immortality and eternal life, with more action, very good CGI, but without the thrilling, convincing story and the amazing actors.
I would only recommend it to hardcore fans of sci-fi and futuristic worlds, but to noone else.
I liked all the characters, but the story sucked.
I had such high hopes for S2. Really liked S1, huge fan of Mackie, loved the concept of another actor playing Tak and seeing what would happen next and then MAN the whole season was just underwhelming. The only redeeming things that kept me watching were the Poe storyline and that they brought back Will Yun Lee. Was really hoping they’d somehow end the season with his sleeve being the one with the “real” Tak in it, but alas it looks like they are setting it up for an S3 (if there even is one after how bad this season was ) with a different actor to take up the mantle. Not sure I will tune in if they spin this up for another season. Guess it’ll depend on who they get to play Tak next.

For me season 1 was excellent season 2 is totally boring and did not finish watching
When I started watching season 1 I thought it was interesting albeit a bit hammy in its execution. As the season progressed I started to get more into it and got used to the style of the show (for better or worse). The plot of Altered Carbon revolves around some absurd tech from the far too distant future and the show doesn't waste time trying to make sense of it and only explains how the technology works for the story. The primary tech is "stacks" which allow people a form of semi immortality where their minds are backed up to small devices in their necks. This allows them to chnaged "skins" (bodies) either because their current one dies or they just want a new one. Some people have lived for hundreds of years and the richest people can backup their stacks to the cloud to avoid "real death" from their stack being destroyed.
Within the context of the show we are just supposed to accept this as being something so far advanced from our current technology that it cant be exlained and as such they can make whatever technology they need to move the story along. One of the most evident problems with this is the lack of consistency, while they have this ridiculously advanced mind preserving technology, the rest of the world is a stylised mix of far less impressive technology.
The main reason the show gets away with it at all is because the story is predominantly a mystery. The technology forms the backdrop and acts as a McGuffin in very aspects. For the most part, we are told what can and can't happen with the tech at whichever point the story needs it to have a different attribute and the focus of the story is on the relationships between the characters.
By the end of season 1 I was quite invested in the show and looking forward to season 2 even though the nature of such a story would necessitate changes to the cast. When season 2 came I was eager to watch but quickly realised that the original was so convoluted that too much time had passed and I was struggling to remember what had happened in order to understand season 2s motivations. I kept watching and picked it up after a couple of episodes but wasn't really enjoying the new cast, characters, plot and even more ridiculous, inconsistent technology. season 1 wasn't deeply philosophical but it skirted around the deeper ramifications of this future world and had glimpses of insight. Season 2 is more of an action soap opera with the central characters having emotional conflicts broken up by style over substance action scenes where lots of people die.
I still have a couple more episodes to go and although Mackie is good, he isn't compelling (perhaps more a problem with script and direction) other characters seem out of place and unbelievable as highly trained killers. Between fights they walk around with the posture and presence of sheep herders and lose their characters within tech centred plot devices. The highlight for me has been Poe (Chris Conner) who has brought much more to the story than his unrelateable tech issues.
[insert conclusion here]
Supposedly will be released on February 27th.
really out there but very good, supposedly a 2nd season is coming
Just started watching this and I love it. Sam Spade in a dismal, dystopian, Bladerunner style future. But then I love Sam Spade, Bladerunner and dismal dystopiae.The acting's very good, the settings brilliantly cgi'd and loads of beautiful naked women. You even get the odd bit of Bladerunner style synth music. I think what makes this interesting is the huge wealth divide that's going on with the wealthy literally living with their heads (and the rest of their bodies for that matter) in the clouds. It's not difficult to see this as a parable for our times. There's also the interesting backstory of the ethical argument that sleeving would present to those who follow religous dogma.
From the start this new series got my attention, but somewhat didn't like that much to be his sister the evil one. And the police Captain Tanaka got a glitch?? Well if he was a corrupted police, paid to be manipulated how he was the one who arrested the Bancrofts? Bancroft would. Anyway despite that, loved the series. Not that solid plot but good enough for my taste.
ps: POE is just amazing!!! Loved that AI. lol
If you like the first episode of this series then you like the rest of the series as well.
This series remains consistently at a very high level in terms of quality and tension.
i really love this show
wow well I don't understand the negative comments here. This was one of the most refreshing new TV shows I've seen in a while. Having watched it all, there were great plot twists and an intriguing storyline.
I certainly do hope for a Season 2
Really strange so far. Not sure verdict yet
Good cyberpunk in netflix polished form. Obviously it has some problems in plot and 'logic', but overall quality is just so good. Planning to read/listen the book series now ;) so i'll have something to compere with.
absolutely in love with this show
I have really enjoyed it. Waiting for a season 2.
Great show & production value...not sure why there are so many haters. Read the negative reviews, doesn’t make sense.
I found this show to be completely and utterly forgettable. I watched it not because it was interesting not even because I wanted to see how the story would end. I watched a few only because I wanted to give the production crew more rope to hang themselves by.. the very first episode I knew. this is higher Productions or some low budget uninspired waste of time. however I fought through the boredom for the sake of one or two characters that was somewhat entertaining. I would never ask you recommend a show to someone but if they create a second season I probably would watch it just to see where there would go with it.
Four episodes in, I feel like I have seen enough for some reasonably informed first impressions.
There is the criticism that the whodunnit at the center of the story is dull and in typical Netflix session stretched over a way too long period without sufficient movement. This point is absolutely fair as the very existence of our protagonist Takeshi is contingent upon this murder. If that bothers you, I can see why.
I still think that there is a great show underneath. First of all, let me say that the world looks gorgeous. You can see the money dripping out of every shot. Especially if you have a good HDR setup. Then you have strong characters with interesting developments, even if they happen mostly individually in the first half of the season. But most importantly, you have some of the strongest sci-fi world building that I've seen. This future feels lived in and well explored. The question of how a society evolves when death for all intents and purposes is a a solved problem is fascinating and Altered Carbon approaches it in a very thoughtful way. You get philosophical takes, explore the economical and societal consequences it carries and even the religious angles. This is the reason I keep watching.

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?
