Altered Carbon
 
Just got to the half way point. So. Damn. Good.

Frank Drebin 02-08-2018 10:21 PM

Was so hard to get through the 2nd episode. I dunno. I want to like it and maybe I'll give it another shot but I'm gonna watch other stuff for now.

Destor 02-12-2018 09:50 PM

Watched ep 1. Amazing. Made for me i think. Bits of Blade runner, firefly and dollhouse. Im all in

ClockShot 02-12-2018 09:56 PM

On my Netflix to watch list.

KIRA 02-12-2018 11:14 PM

Me and my boy watched all of it last week incredible
this is how you translate a book to the screen take a fucking bow Netflix

Tom Guycott 02-12-2018 11:42 PM

This show had my curiosity. Now, with this thread, it has my attention.

After I finish up my Fist of the North Star run on VRV, I guess I will jump this to the top of my list.

rez 02-13-2018 09:17 PM

It's great..finished it the other night. It's based off the first book in a trilogy. I'm going to have to get dem books.

Destor 02-15-2018 10:20 PM

4 eps in and i cant get enough. Absolute top shelf sci-fi

slik 02-16-2018 08:52 AM

I'll have to start this next...going to check out 'the ritual' and 'everything sucks' this is now on my list entirely b/c of the good word in this thread.

Destor 02-16-2018 08:01 PM

The number of Whedon alum in this pleases me

Destor 02-21-2018 08:15 PM

Finished it. A++ scifi

Frank Drebin 03-04-2018 12:27 AM

Jumped back in. 4th episode really good.

El Vaquero de Infierno 03-04-2018 06:42 AM

I'm slowly getting into it.

Frank Drebin 03-04-2018 07:38 PM

Finished. Good show after a brutally slow start. Wouldn't call it A++ though. Very good ending. Wrapped almost everything up. Hate hate hate when they leave all sorts of things hanging and you know they're just going to keep punting those because they think people will stick around for those answers. Sci-fi especially susceptible to that.

Just started

Kalyx triaD 03-12-2018 10:01 AM

Finished. This show lightens up just a tad and it would be a must watch.

Little miffed that the few times this show scales back to 'soft R naked' is with the hottest women on the show. Aside from that, this shit is chock full of badass sexy women. The ending was also satisfying.

El Vaquero de Infierno 03-12-2018 01:31 PM

Lt. Oretga is so hot.

Destor 03-12-2018 02:01 PM

So fucking hot

Kalyx triaD 03-12-2018 02:14 PM

Lizzie's story arc is also one of the most satisfying story arcs I seen in a long time. I don't often mark out for non superhero cases but she fucking earned it.

Damian Rey 2.0 03-12-2018 03:11 PM

Yes this was very good. Interesting in the beginning and really strong episode 4 on. And yeah I'm in love with Ortega and Rae. Ooof

Destor 03-12-2018 03:11 PM

Really cant dismiss how hot Ortega is

Damian Rey 2.0 03-12-2018 03:17 PM

She's so hot

ClockShot 03-16-2018 07:18 PM

Moving along at a decent pace. Finished episode 4.

Love what I'm seeing. But, Netflix gotta be dumping a ton of money into this with all the CGI and whatnot. I hope this pays off and catches a lot of viewers. I liked Marco Polo, but that lasted 2 seasons and production values between both seasons was $200 million.

A lot of money.

Kalyx triaD 03-16-2018 07:22 PM

That's their problem.

Destor 03-16-2018 07:33 PM

Its def the viewers problem too

ClockShot 03-29-2018 06:23 AM

Finished it up yesterday.

I like it, a lot. The carrot they dangled at the end is more than enough to let me come back to season 2 (if it happens).

ClockShot 07-27-2018 03:27 PM

Netflix renews this for season 2.

Anthony Mackie will be playing Takeshi Kovacs this time.

Kalyx triaD 07-27-2018 05:56 PM

Nice.

slik 07-27-2018 06:29 PM

Still need 2 watch this

El Vaquero de Infierno 07-27-2018 06:29 PM

There is only one important thing we need to know: will the smoking hot Lt. Ortega be back?

Destor 07-27-2018 07:31 PM

Ortega...fuck...fuuuuuuuuck

Damian Rey 2.0 07-28-2018 03:04 AM

She better be

ClockShot 07-28-2018 07:20 AM

Probably in some smaller capacity unless they're totally changing locations for season 2.

Everything wrapped up nicely in season 1.

Kalyx triaD 07-28-2018 04:32 PM

Her fine ass.

Frank Drebin 07-28-2018 06:36 PM

I just want someone to come in here and say she's ugly so we can tear him limb from limb.

And how many times will she have hot naked sex.

Kalyx triaD 07-28-2018 08:23 PM

The one time she teased as good as she looks was under VERY conflicting circumstances.

rez 07-29-2018 07:35 AM

I'm not holding my breath that the goddesss Ortega will be back. It'll most likely take place on a different planet.

poopfromweiner dude 07-29-2018 09:30 AM

eggplant emoji

Frank Drebin 07-29-2018 10:13 AM

She's still in her own body, yes? Shell be back. Plus I'm sure they've done enough crowd sourcing to know they can't leave her out.

Destor 07-29-2018 01:47 PM

i dunno. i kinda feel like s2 with have no returning faces

Kalyx triaD 07-29-2018 04:19 PM

Yeah now that the main mystery was solved he has no reason to stay in that city altogether.

Frank Drebin 07-29-2018 04:24 PM

Destor just mad that there wasn't a single musical number in the whole season.

Frank Drebin 07-29-2018 04:25 PM

Fact: Destor would take a Liza Minnelli musical number over 10 Lt. Ortega sex scenes.

Destor 07-29-2018 04:29 PM

why not both

Frank Drebin 07-29-2018 08:08 PM

Because that's Bette Middler's job you jerk!

ClockShot 01-21-2020 04:23 PM

Season 2 goes up February 27th, 2020.

About damn time.

El Vaquero de Infierno 01-21-2020 04:37 PM

Checked IMDB and Lt. Ortega does not appear to be in the second season; chaps, this is sad new.

Sepholio 01-21-2020 06:05 PM

Not surprising considering it follows the books.

Kalyx triaD 01-21-2020 08:00 PM

She was fine, tho.

Wouldn't make sense.

Gotta restart again with Tak in a new Sleeve and continuing the quest to find his soulmate.

Poe coming back again is cool. Liked him.

Damian Rey 2.0 01-22-2020 10:38 PM

Fuck

rez 02-28-2020 07:58 PM

Half way through S2 Ep3. Fucking non stop orgasm tbh.

Destor 02-28-2020 10:02 PM

Anthony Mackie is a bit one note. He can play cool or brooding but if he needs to turn the energy up he's pretty poor.

Destor 02-28-2020 10:02 PM

Season is good in spite of him

rez 02-28-2020 10:34 PM

He's hit or miss, it seems.

I guess you can chalk it up to the character still getting used to the advanced sleeve.

Destor 02-29-2020 01:13 AM

Action scenes are real good this season

Sepholio 02-29-2020 02:29 AM

Fml I need season 3 >_<

Hot take: s2 cast sucks

Frank Drebin 03-02-2020 09:36 PM

Is Ortega in this season? If not, why watch?

You cant wank to it thats for sure

Sepholio 03-03-2020 11:23 AM

Season 2 cast is fine because Poe is still there. Poe is the only person in the entire mythos that matters at all. This is his story.

Destor 03-03-2020 12:53 PM

The OG Tak is real good in this

Destor 03-05-2020 11:24 AM

SPOILER: show
glad mackie is out. OG should be the s3 lead which is good. He doesnt have the calcrest attachment so itll allow the show to make a fresh start.

Destor 03-05-2020 11:27 AM

Hopefully s3 will be less action film and more detective noir

SPOILER: show
itll prob follow poes dhf but og tak would be better

ClockShot 03-18-2020 02:19 PM

Finished season 2 this morning.

SPOILER: show
Only question I got for now is why bring in Neal McDonaugh as Konrad Harlan if you're only going to use him for 30 seconds? Unless he's still lurking and may be a focus in season 3.


More to follow when I get home.

ClockShot 03-18-2020 08:47 PM

Other stuff.

SPOILER: show
Wasn't a fan of the season in general. Not so much a casting problem, but more plot. Poe vs. The Reboot was a better plotline than Tak's stuff overall. The payoff for that sorta stunk. Will Yun Lee running around now gives me hope that he gets a season to himself. Always liked his work. Hope he ain't completely written off.

Didn't have a problem with Anthony Mackie. Though Lela Loren was mis-cast. Probably could have found a meaner bitch. Coin toss on Simone Missick. See Neal McDonough in the post above. Salli Richardson-Whitfield directing the last episode and sneaking in for a cameo was cool. She's been doing some good work lately.

I think a new showrunner and being careful with the cast will make season 3 great. Don't know if it got renewed.

rez 03-21-2020 11:49 PM

Finishing up Episode 5 of S2 right now... I think I came in to the season just happy the show was back. The honeymoon is over...I much preferred Joel Kinnaman. I don't blame Anthony Mackie. They've just wrote his role without any personality.

rez 03-21-2020 11:52 PM

Poe and Dig are the only characters I give a shit about and they're not even human.

100 Percent this.


This season just didn't have anything that wanted me to continue to watch. The whole genre is cool, which is what hooked me. The AI were definitely the stars this season, hands down.

Sepholio 08-26-2020 06:33 PM

Cancelled :(

Destor 08-26-2020 11:52 PM

not surprised. losing the lead hurt season 2s draw. couple that with the high production costs...yeah

Frank Drebin 08-27-2020 01:51 PM

Did Ortega get naked in season 2? If not th there's your answer. Duh.

El Vaquero de Infierno 08-27-2020 01:54 PM

Damn, I'd put whole cities to the sword for Lt. Ortega.

Damian Rey 2.0 08-27-2020 04:48 PM

Lt. Ortega was the star of season 1.

ClockShot 08-27-2020 07:53 PM

Shame. Hoping they would give a season 3 to either rebound or kill it for good.

rez 08-28-2020 09:32 AM

never bothered to finish s2
