One episode in and alt-carbon>>>>>>>bladerunna2049
I just started this last night, and the first episode is really good. Visuals are fantastic, and it seems to be pretty accurate to the novel so far. However your “greater than 2049” comment is straight dumpster fire fodder.
Just started Altered Carbon. It's pretty alright so far but the language switching is starting to grate on me and I'm only halfway through the first episode.
I like the language switching. As an American, I'm unfortunately accustomed to hispanic families sitting at home and discussing their business en Inglés, with massive Spanish accents. It felt more authentic having two detectives use the language they're most comfortable in, but still understanding each other.
Also, I am love-love-loving this show. There are a few shabby bits; the impoverished black marine isn't selling the role for me, and I was unsure about Mrs. Bancroft until she also portrayed a different character and sold that for me. Martha Higareda, the spitfire playing Detective Ortega, is pretty amazing, and I thought Joel Kinnaman was the best part of both Robocop and Suicide Squad. The sets are well integrated into the greenscreen stuff. The world feels well-established, just four episodes in. It's very respectful of the books.
