Mix Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Sex and immortality.....there are worse things to center a show around... 4 episodes in and it's sorta wearing thin though...probably could use a few more wrinkles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mochi Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 also the premise sounds JUST like the anime Kaiba though the book Altered Carbon is based on predates Kaiba by a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewn Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Good to hear it wasn't bad. Maybe I'll watch that after Babylon Berlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clu Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I felt the writing was off. They are appealing to the fifty gays of grey crew I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It’s got plenty of good ideas but the executions seem a bit...cliche? I did get a smirk seeing the dude who played Max Headroom of all people though. 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
