    I'm about 3 episodes into Altered Carbon. As a sci-fi fan, I am biased toward things like this, so I of course want to enjoy it and am willing to give it some slack.

    But damn. It's fun, but not great. The very moment(s) it starts to feel deep and meaningful, some stupid ass one-liner or absolute cliche moment cheese steps in and ruins the immersion.

    Now that I know there's a past relationship between his sleeve and a living character though, I have some hope.

    • there are some fucking really, really cool concepts! but they are trying to cram too much into each episode, so it's dilutedmonospaced
    • It isn't great, just good enough.Maaku
    • completely agree... and not to spoil it but there isn't much of a payoff (meaning it really doesn't get much better and the ending is... meh)PonyBoy
    • it's like the new cloverfield, a good sci-fi but nothing groundbreakingsted
    • I enjoyed iternexbcn
    • I cannot get into Altered Carbon. I got 2.5 episodes in, and that's all I could take. It's lacking something.section_014

    • better than cloverfield. lots of cool concepts. Like different black mirror prophecies in one show.Beeswax
    • Was meh. I thought the styling was a bit off, should of been grittier looking. Enjoyed it more when he was in his original sleevethumb_screws
    • pango, I’m not saying it’s bad! just not as good as I thought it would or could be ... I still enjoy I thoroughlymonospaced
    • let's be honest, it's b-grade and oddball as fuck. the acting is all utterly bizarre. the music bland. the story weak. But I still dig it for some reason.inteliboy
