Ellen J @RT72625804 01/08/2023 There's a lot to like here. The plot's unexpected, the acting is skillful, the characters are three-dimensional. Add to the mix a large dollop of humor. So why only three stars? Like the majority of dramas being cranked out these days, it's just another example of nonstop titillation and degradation--with a subtext that everyone is on the take, everyone's corrupt or worse. Series like this one anesthetize the spirit so that we end up accepting violence, nihilism, and creeping authoritarianism as the norm. See more 08/10/2020 Great show, very original, entertaining. Highly recommended. Very good actings, plot. It's a pity that there is no season 2. See more 10/21/2019 Brilliant. Gutted that there is no Season 2. See more 02/10/2018 All.the hype about Altered Carbon. Here's one that flew under the radar. You can quibble about the lack of Freach spoken between French people maybe, at a push. But that has to be seen as a deliberate directorial choice to avoid subtitles. And it's such a minor quibble because this is sensational. Finally, a Netflix show that will keep me happy to the end. See more 01/20/2018 This quasi-french-british drama is entertaining enough but is ultimately yet another example of a show squandering its potential to go from being a “good” tv show to a “great” one. The premise starts out well: a professional crime-scene cleaner (Jean Bastiere) is forced to work for the London mob after falling into serious financial trouble, giving the mob essentially the invaluable ability to erase any trace of a murder. However, Jean’s unwavering moral compass means he is fundamentally against this from the get-go and it only takes a few episodes before he’s had enough and begins looking for a way out. A far more intriguing direction to take the plot would have been a more “Breaking Bad”-esque scenario in which Jean comes to accept and eventually revel in his new found second life and the viewer gets to enjoy all the unpredictable consequences that follow. Alas, it was not to be, and what we are left with is a mildly compelling but predictable ending.
