If you haven't been watching this mind-bending sci-fi series on Netflix, here are the five reasons you need to get on board.
ALTERED CARBON is set in a future where consciousness is digitized and stored in cortical stacks implanted in the spine, allowing humans to survive physical death by having their memories and consciousness "re-sleeved" into new bodies. The story follows specially trained "Envoy" soldier Takeshi Kovacs, who is downloaded from an off-world prison and into a combat ready sleeve at the behest of Laurens Bancroft, a highly influential aristocrat. Bancroft was killed, and the last automatic backup of his stack was made hours before his death, leaving him with no memory of who killed him and why. While police ruled it a suicide, Bancroft is convinced he was murdered and wants Kovacs to find out the truth.
Season 1 was one of the best Sci-Fi shows to come out since Firefly, but I must admit, I have given up on season 2 three episodes in. The script is mind-blowingly stupid and the lead character has apparently also lost some IQ points since the events in season 1. The actors do what they can, but there is no way to salvage such poor writing and directing. Season 1: 9/10 Season 2: 3/10
