Altered Carbon: Das Unsterblichkeitsprogramm

They did the series a disservice by miscasting Kovacs in season 2. Anthony Mackie is a great actor in his own right but failed to capture and continue Joel Kinnaman's and Will Yun Lee's take on Takeshi Kovacs. Takeshi is a serious Japanese guy and that didn't translate.

This could have been Anthony's opportunity to show his acting range. All I could think about was his Falcon character in the Marvel movies.

I'm so sad they cancelled the series, I really loved the idea of the immortality of consciousness.

First season is great fun. Actors do a great job selling characters, action is fun, atmosphere and aesthetics are top notch.

Second season... Exists. Mackie didn't even bother acting.

First season is very good probably 10/10 after 15 mins you cant stop watching until the end , but the second season is 1/10 after 15 mins you want to stop and forget about it...

Which idiot thought it was a good idea to ditch the actor who carried this series and made it into a success? WTF?!? Joel was and still is perfect for the role! Bring him back ffs!

Season 1 rating: 10 stars Season 2 rating: ugh ...

Season 1 of Altered Carbon is among the greatest Sci-Fi shows ever created so of course Season 2 wasn't going to be as good but it's still not nearly as bad as some of these reviews are saying. It's just that Season 1 was so incredible that when people compare S2 to it they are of course going to be a little disappointed. If season 1 never happened I think more people would like season 2 but because that first season is so amazing people automatically compare them. Don't. Everything about this show is great...the acting, writing, production, cinematography, etc. Are all as good as it gets. It's really too bad they only did two seasons because it's one of the better sci-fi shows I've ever seen.
