isnt that already what we are doing right here right now
sleeving into another you on the internet
it has already started
all it takes now is someone to become
a very rich man who wants to be immortal
to spend enough money to make it real

Lead actors name is Takeshi. White dude. Lots of uproar about white washing.

Series like this I’ll binge in one hit. The main character is a brilliant actor. Forget Robocop... :oops:

The directing could have been tighter - fine if you’ve read the book, but absorbing concepts and story in these P K Dick type things if you haven’t is aided by a more disciplined central narrative.

Finished the season last night. I really enjoyed it, better than the majority of things I’ve watched on Netflix recently. Star Trek finale tonight! :canny:

I've done all the Star Treks now, just started with the first two Altered Carbons not bad so far I find it very reminiscent of the original Blade Runner, even though the stories aren't even similar. :dunno:

Take care she's left you no chores to complete before her return home. You know the sort, the ones they don't tell you to do because you're expected to guess they need doing. Before you know it, 2 hours will have sped by because it's engrossing, then the panic will set in.

Loooool.

You'd be surprised at how productive and quick I can be with the household chores when I want to be. So would she probably!

I thought that once, I used to think 'how long can that take, really?' as I supped a beer and watched the football, until I found out how long it actually took to do something to someone's impossible specifications.

Anyways enjoy the show, I might catch a couple more episodes myself after the football finishes. :thumbsup:

Watched the first three episodes last night.

Pretty good so far and faithful to the book (especially the balance of extreme violence with humour) from what I can remember as it's been well over a decade since a last read it.

I think TJ is right when he says it has Blade Runner styling and Az when he said the directing could be a bit tighter as it might be a bit confusing without knowledge of the book.

Netflix must have a stupid amount of money as the production was better than some films.

Also, does anyone manage to keep their clothes on for more than 5 minutes as the series goes on?
