11/28/2023 0 Comments Altered carbon imdbI lost interest and started watching something else by episode 5. Season Two - What a let down after the incredible high from season one. It was just so much fun to watch that I binged it again before starting season two. Also, the directing was some of the best I've seen from a tv show in awhile. The cinematography was beautiful and captivating. Was invested in these characters regardless if they were hero or villain. The actors are phenomenal and provided outstanding performances. I had to binge because I was so hooked and needed to know the ending right away. Season One - The story was absolutely incredible. Camerawork is sloppy, editing feels rushed. Scenes are often so dark that you don't see anything. Characters are flat, the story is predictable and boring. The production quality is awesome, the characters are believable and well thought out, the dialogs fit the characters, soundtrack is great, camerawork also, so is the editing. On top of that we get a "Sherlock Homes" detective case, a shakespearean family drama and tackle the question what it can mean if humans live forever and become like greek gods. It explores the effect of the stack technology on society and personal life from so many different angles: Many consciousnesses in one body, one consciousness in many different bodies, one consciousness in many cloned bodies, copying consciousnesses. Season 1 is one of my favorite SciFi-Shows of all time! The story is intelligent, full of twists, witty, brutal where it's appropriate and overall highly enjoyable. Friends don't let friends watch season two! ![]() The only small glimmer of hope and microscopic light was found in our newly introduced archeologist A.I., but they managed to sour that before the end of season two as well. The only thing that I liked from season one that they kept was our hotel Raven.but our poor Poe A.I. ![]() It also lacked new and interesting didn't even keep the interesting images from season one (which shouldn't have cost them any more money to re-use!). The story was not engaging or was a snooze-fest. Instead there was horrible and horribly delivered lines/dialogue by some pretty terrible actors.and clearly not as much energy was put in to plot/story development. The show runners made some horrible choices of actors for season two, I think they were more concerned about checking boxes than actually delivering good content to their audience.which is a shame because they could have probably checked some of those same boxes by making some different choices and delivered a solid good quality show. It really left a bitter taste in your mouth and has tainted to a certain degree how I feel about Altered Carbon all together. ![]() This was one of the worst things I have seen in the last couple of years and it was particularly disappointing because season one was so good. If I were rating season two I would give it one star, but only because you can't give negative ratings on IMDb. My 7/10 rating is for season one only.you can stop watching at the end of season one and you will have a nice complete story. Watch season one, you will not be sorry.even if you are not a sci-fi fan. I liked that they didn't insult the audience by explaining everything from the onset, it gave your mind things to puzzle out, which kept you engaged. This had a everyone roots for the underdog vibe from the get go. Some of the rich vs poor social commentary was interesting and not as trite or black and white as you would expect. ![]() Having the A.I./human hate to friendship allowed for some nice growth over the season. I loved the idea of the Raven hotel with its Poe A.I. The main actor was fantastic, the concept was interesting, the images were beautifully done and were a feast for your imagination combining both futuristic concepts while still incorporating retro ideas and images, and the script was such that you were rooting for the protagonist. I am NOT a fan of science fiction, which Altered Carbon is, but I thoroughly enjoyed season one.
