It's especially infuriating what they did to Altered Carbon when you consider how much of the changes do not add anything to the adaptation (although a very few were improvements, like Poe); quite the reverse. They also completely castrated the books' political message - especially when it came to religion, and to a lower extent anti-capitalism/centralization.
That being said, I imagine it still makes for a watchable show for someone that knows nothing about the books.
In any case, I love both series and I pray dearly they don't fuck up the Culture adaptation.
- BatFastard 9y agoAs someone who has not read the book, I quite enjoy the Netflix series! Give me more! So much good SciFi finally coming in series format!!! Only had to wait 40 years.
- duozerk 9y agoYeah, I suspect I was only disappointed because of the books, and even then not by that much - above all I was happy to see the universe on screen. With that being said, and especially if you liked the show, I heartily recommend the books.
- AdeptusAquinas 9y agoI read the book and really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the Netflix series a lot. Theyre different stories, with one inspiring the other. At least with the Netflix series I am hoping that the next season will stick to the theme and atmosphere, unlike the IMO dissapointing book sequels
