It's a dark, violent and exploitative future, of course, but we wouldn't want it any other way.

If you can get past that violence, or even through it, there's much to savor. Morgan's novel has been turned into a phantasmagoria of sights, sounds and details.

It doesn't matter if Altered Carbon is a homage of a rip-off. The only thing that matters is that regardless of what it wants to be perceived as, it fails at the two key things: Being thought provoking and entertaining.

It's fine, with some clever explorations of the virtual-immortality concept and a fun supporting performance by Chris Conner as Kovacs's sidekick.

Yet for all of its bells and whistles, nothing about Altered Carbon feels very different or new or bold.
January 31, 2018
Every twist of the convoluted and ultimately unsatisfying plot puts Kovacs, and his combative police officer partner Kristin Ortega, into gruesome situations that edge into torture porn.

The sheer amount of imagining, both borrowed and original, accumulates into a vast, dirty world and gives Altered Carbon the feel of a proper cyberpunk novel: big, baggy, ambitious, trashy, funny, gruesome, clever, cheesy, and hyperactive.

It's probably best not to ask too many questions, but simply revel in the neon-lit retro-futuro stylings and all the other good stuff.
February 02, 2018
Big issues of body, mind, identity and technology shuffle around the "Altered Carbon" universe, but the show often drags its feet in order to fill its individual episodes' running times.
February 01, 2018
This is a world rich with diverse and interesting characters, each with their own demons and issues.
