Altered Carbon was a shining jewel in Netflix's shows. The worse episode was like a great episode on Syfy and the best rivaled anything you've seen on HBO.

The story takes place on Harland's World in the future where people's mind live in USB thumb drive like things that can switch bodies. This allows some to live forever and others to avoid the law, or if you don't like the way you look, just change a body. The series explored how this affected humanity and how people exist in a world where your body is no longer an extension of yourself.

Altered Carbon season 2 is the disappointing successor. This time Takeshi Kovachs is played by Anthony Mackie (and Will Yun Lee), of Marvel's Falcon fame. This season focuses on finding Takeshi's ex girlfriend, Quellcrist Falconer and.... that's about it. It's a find the girlfriend and revenge series. Everyone's favorite Poe returns but is sidelined for most of the series with a cancer like "glitch." Simone Missick (Misty Knight from the Netflix Marvel shows) plays a part time bounty hunter, Trep. She has a kid and a girlfriend. That's about all there is to say about that.
