- ceejayoz 6y agoWhat part of Altered Carbon struck you as a comedy?
- jsolson 6y agoAbeula. (and it was glorious) That episode is a mighty study in contrasts!
- throw1234651234 6y agoThe part where far far into the future, the protagonist(?) takes out a SWAT(more like 75th rangers?) team that has him surrounded with cover with the tactics of firing from the hip. The funny thing is that it all started so well. The apartment scene is almost believable. Altered Carbon was just cyberpunk eye-candy. There was no technology explored in a meaningful way besides the stacks.
- smabie 6y agoI liked the first season, but the second season was absolute garbage.

- dleslie 6y agoI didn't like it, but I don't recall it having gags or a laugh track.
- three_seagrass 6y agoSeason 2 was so overly dark and broody that it was boring.
- prepend 6y agoThe second season was bizarrely unwatchable.
- MagnumOpus 6y agoIt is a particularly egregious case of the book being better than the series (and maybe even faster to finish). It keeps the "cool" action parts while simplifying the world building and plot complexities down to a lowest common denominator that robs it of all nuance and subtlety of character relationships and motivations.
