Altered Carbon (2018–2020)
9/10
The difference between seasons 1 and 2
23 May 2020
Season 1 is good but it is violent, gory at times without reason, in a way they are putting form over substance, which makes it lose its edge, its heart, its core. Not repeating that mistake makes season 2 great. If you can pace yourself there is plenty to take in and ponder...if you see it all in one sitting, you'll definitely need a second viewing for everything layed before you to really seep in.

It shows with great clarity the consequences of human recklessness and the loss of self when one gives course to the unquenchable thirst for power. It brings to the forefront the essence and dynamics of consciousness, mind, humanity, matter, which are especially relevant now with the age of A.I right around the corner. Simply put it explores the song's question 'Who wants to live forever?' in a mirriad of fascinating, even if at times convoluted, ways.
