Altered Carbon: Season 2 - cast announcement
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Awesome, really enjoyed the first season and so glad they are doing the new sleeve each season thing.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere of season 1, hopefully the cast can deliver a better story in season 2 while maintaining production values.
It's a lot like The Expanse in that it's pretty good story material handled very lovingly, but the SFX budget and the caliber of the actors isn't *quite* good enough to really make it sing. I enjoyed it but it feels a bit like missed potential too.
Hyped. First season was great even though the ending was lame. Looking forward to it. Casting looks good
So it's a different story completely or what?
Season 1 took a while to enjoy but I thought it was overall good. The ending kind of went off the rails but it was a lot of fun at that point since it went campy

Be interesting to see if Mackie is going to do a kinneman impression or just do his own thing.
I also wonder if the sister is going to pop up. I think the s1 stuff is going to carry over a lot.

I enjoyed Season 1 mostly for the worldbuilding. I don't think I've ever seen hard sci-fi put on screen in such an uncompromising fashion. You had to pay attention to keep up. I appreciate that it was far from flawless, but this point alone made the series worthwhile for me. I'm hoping Season 2 confidentally picks up the reins.
I been meaning watch the first season since learning about the book through listening to Gunship. Somehow I completely missed it when it was first released on Netflix.
Here the song with a voice cameo from the writer of the book series

Man, I love the books and didn't mind the TV show but I REALLY don't like the combining the Quellists with the Envoys. That's one of the weakest parts of the adaptation to me.
Look forward to seeing how they manage some of the insane setpieces at the end of Woken Furies for the show.

Awesome, glad they got someone who can act for the new sleeve. (not a shot at Joel, love the show but if they are replacing him I'm glad its an actor who has some work I've enjoyed)
It's CW Blade Runner. The first 3 episodes are moody and nails the neo-noir feel the rest of it is basically an anime
I bet he shows up for a tad in episode 1. Just for the sleeve transfer stuff.
Anyway I was a big fan of season 1 despite its flaws. Shit looks amazing in 4K. Cannot wait!
I liked it, really liked the concept of the world, even though I agree there was a lot of problems. Looking forward to it.
yes if you dont mind style over substance. I quite enjoyed it.
this...is strangely accurate lol
2020 the earliest, just like The Haunting of Bly Manor :(
edit: oops double post, I am now forced to
sword fight you in the nude
yes
I've been slowly working through the show, mostly using it as filler or background, but one thing that leapt out at me was just how horny the show was. I'll scope out season 2 if I'm still on the Netflix bandwagon at that point.
I think S2 will be an easier watch for me since I don't really hold much reverence for the books past the first AC so I won't care as much about what the show decides to change around now.
Season 1 really made some questionable decisions, mainly by practically combining two characters into one and altering the motivation of another, thereby changing Tak's arc. It's not enough for me to say that the show is "Altered Carbon in name only", but I felt that because so much of the aesthetic and world-building was transferred so closely from page to screen, the plot/character/story changes had that much more of a detrimental effect. Still enjoyed it overall.

Huh well good on them, I didn't know that - gives everything a chance to improve in the second season.
She will be missed.
Loved the first season, finally cyberpunk on the small screen which pulled no punches. Can't wait for season 2.
