        slower than the first season but in my opinion just as engaging, couldn't stop watching, really enjoyed this

      • Nov 10, 2023

        The first one was one of the most refreshing SI-FI shows but this season is literally UNWATCHABLE. I guess being diverse is not enough..you need the brains too to write a good story

      • Jul 30, 2023

        Completely misses all that made the first season great. Season 2 is generic and overdone, a classic recipe in the Netflix sci-fi space. Why change the main characters and who they are, this was such a neat concept and great opportunity, but right away the main character seems to have lost so much of who he was and his main character traits. Why Netflix seems to be so motivated to pander to the critics and not the consumers I will never know.

      • Jul 09, 2023

        A show that still manages to keep my interest from the beginning to the end. Really wish there was a season 3, unfortunately, it was too "expensive" to continue the show. I guess money is best spent on brain-dead and politically charged shows, like 98% of shows these days.

      • May 30, 2023

        This season is the highest example of bad casting, bad acting (except Chris Conner), and dull storytelling. If you enjoyed season 1, keep its good taste in your mouth, and please save yourself the suffering of seeing such a rotten sequel.

      • May 24, 2023

        Could have been better with a main actor that isnt a charisma-vacuum

      • Apr 23, 2023

        I provided my review to from Season 1 below but I did want to mention that Season 2 was fantastic as well. Kinnaman brought Kovacs to life in a way you don't often see in movies and set the bar real high. Many people were highly critical and dissatisfied of Mackie's performance...I disagree. You have to separate your emotions. Many fell in love with Kinnaman's larger than life delivery of Takeshi Kovacs, but if there was someone who could take on the complex mechanic of "resleeving" in a show and keeping the essence of the character, Mackie is the one. I gave a 4.5 because I feel the second season didn't fully master the illusion of making the show feel as if it was all real as the first season did. Still an outstanding production and addition to the show none-the-less. Arguable one of the greatest shows of all time and so little recognition. I wish I understood how shows like this don't gain the views the so deserve. This show takes you places and feel so much more than a production of sets and VFX. The ENTIRE cast delivered, in my opinion, awardable performances. In life we see and experience things that sometimes just manage to harness the "right stuff" and makes your interaction with it a wildly satisfying interaction of emotions and thoughts. I am not quite sure how Season 2 commanded a higher score than Season 1, they were both great, but Season 1 mastered the art of delivering a story and universe in an instant to the viewer. I hope everyone involved in making this production come to life continues to bring magic to Hollywood.

        This was an entertaining and cutting edge series.

      • Mar 30, 2023

        While I absolutely loved the idea in theory that, due to the nature of the show, the lead can switch actors each season, Anthony Mackie was not the right choice for this show. He's more fitting to extroverted performance while Joel Kinnamon's portrayal had so much more charm due to his reserved nature. I was able to see past some writing issues in the first season just due to the lead being so strong. That is to say, the casting wasn't the only issue with this season. The plot was very convoluted, downright messy most of the time. It followed some very overused tools at writer's disposal, i.e. like reviving characters for convenience's sake. It just didn't have the same soul as the first season. The really just dropped the ball with this season and I'm very likely to recommend anyone who's interested in the show to stop at S1. There's no reason to watch further.

      • Mar 04, 2023

        Still entertaining but missed the main actor from season 1. Struggled to follow the same momentum, although Mackie did his best and this is no reflection on his acting ability
