Altered Carbon. Very competent cyberpunk action thriller with some awesome ideas and outstanding world building. Loving it.

The second season is a real let down. It's passable, and expands the universe reasonably well. Just don't expect it to live up to the first at all.

Hm maybe I should just read the book then. Classic Netflix.

I hope others chime in since I might be talking out of my ass, but I heard that the other books don't meet the bar set by the first to a similar degree of the show. I enjoyed season 2, but season 1 was damn good.

Loved it too. My only gripe is a character change that IMO isn’t necessary. The book is pretty straightforward and could’ve been directly adapted to TV without that major change.

Hey, you gotta change the lead actor to make sure it's not as good. Otherwise you might have to keep the show going.
