Motorcycles. Cyberpunk. Corruption. That sums up this series. Thankfully it's a short 6 episodes; they get the story told relatively fast and at the right pace. They didn't stretch a thin plot out to a painful 16 or 24 episodes. Creds for that. The length is just about right.
The characters aren't well-developed. They tell us enough about the individuals to get us interested, but no real filler.
I don't understand how anyone could find fault with the animation. Methinks this generation is becoming far too demanding when it comes to CGI and animation. The animation here was interesting and sufficient to the task.
The plot: cliche to the extreme. This will appeal to people into motorcycles and cyberpunk. Maybe. But don't look for cerebral fiction here. The whole six episodes is pretty much a continual chase scene.
Primary downside: ridiculous-level hacking, and pretty much the same hacks over and over and over. Break through a barrier. Create new paths. Override equipment. Lather, rinse, repeat.
This is cyber-fiction. Nobody, but nobody has these kind of hacker skills. This is the equivalent of someone figuring out a complex security door password using an entry card tied to a scanner. Pure fiction, carried to an extreme. This is the cyberpunk version of jumping a very big shark, repeatedly.
If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, eyeball junk food, and a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon, this will suffice. It's a step above mediocre so I give it six stars, but the hacking and road scenes were so repetitious that I can't give it any more than that.
I will give them credit for the plot twist. No spoilers, but it was a pretty good one. ; )
