Altered Carbon – Das Unsterblichkeitsprogramm - Série 1

Sometimes, Netflix really knows how to take risks, and Altered Carbon is one of those times it pays off. They greenlit a project that dives deep into cyberpunk, bringing back the kind of atmosphere we haven’t seen since the days of Blade Runner and Total Recall. Takeshi Kovacs is a fascinating character, and if you can roll with the concept that different actors (or actresses) can play him, you're in for a unique, neon-drenched detective story like no other. My only gripe is that the 10-episode season drags in parts. (31.01.2021)

I'm giving Season 1 four stars. The reason why I didn’t give a fifth one was that it had a few minor flaws that piled up. But overall, I liked the series a lot. The premise didn't seem very original, but the execution was excellent. True, some of the names took me by surprise (Takeshi Kovacs, Gottfried Saito), but then again, why not? What I think was a bad move was casting Dichen Lachman as Reileen Kawahara, I really wouldn't believe for a second that she wasn't on the dark side of the Force. What I really enjoyed was the setting, they did a great job creating the world of the future. I would check into the Raven Hotel in a heartbeat, I would love to stay there. The first season managed to maintain a great atmosphere pretty much throughout. There were decent action scenes, and I really enjoyed the story. I'm looking forward to the next season. // I can't help it but Renée Goldsberry as Quellcrist Falconer reminds me so much of Citra Talugmai from Far Cry 3. 4*+ (29.07.2018)
