If you ever wanted to watch an excellent Cyberpunk TV Show look no further, Altered Carbon is a new Netflix binge worthy material with 10 masterfully done episodes worthy of one of the cyberpunk greatest classics, you guessed it, worthy of Blade Runner. You can see it in every detail how much influence Blade Runner had on this show, which is the best kind of influence to have.
In this version of Cyberpunk humans managed to create "stacks" which are chips with human minds and souls downloaded in it making any human with enough money to buy a new body immortal. The only way to kill someone is to destroy his stack. Changing bodies can really fuck up relationships over a period of hundreds of years, as one could imagine.
The main protagonist is called Takeshi Kovacs who is played by Joel Kinnaman, he did a great job and dare I say, a job worthy of Harisson Ford from Blade Runner. He is revived from 250 years sleep and is ordered to investigate a murder of one of the highest ranking individuals on the planet. Without going into spoiler territory too much let me just say that there are some very interesting twists in this show, specially if you include disposable bodies in the mix and immortality. Every scene, every fight choreography is so good in this show and they serve the Cyberpunk theme masterfully. There are moments where you will truly love this show if you like this kind of stuff.
I finished watching Altered Carbon in two days, it's that good. A must watch for any fan of Science Fiction and Cyberpunk. Score: 9.3/10
