I'm a massive fan of the novel and have high hopes for this. Netflix have been churning out some really great quality TV with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Orange is the new black etc. It'll be interesting how they deal with the violence in Altered Carbon as well as the visual effects.

3 episodes in and so far so good. It’s very immersive but I’m not sure how hose who’ve not read the book are going to get on with it. Had to explain a few bits to the wife.

One episode left to go. I’ve really, really enjoyed it. The Mrs on the other hand has struggled, finding it confusing and some of the dialogue too muffled to understand. I fear we won’t see a second season as it’s a bit too hardcore for casual viewers which probably make up the majority of viewers.

Finished it. Loved it.

The changes from the book were a mixed bag for me. I actually really liked EAP instead of Hendrix, wasn’t so keen on the Quel thing, indifferent about the sister.

It was a feast for the eyes and gave the brain a bit of a work out as well.

Fingers crossed for a 2nd season.

If you're looking for another cyber punk noir fix Mute lands on Netflix tomorrow, the follow up to the film Moon.

I thought S2 was better than S1 and I loved S1. Interestingly for me I find Poe's storyline is almost stealing the show.
