This is a SPOILER-FREE review of Netflix's Altered Carbon: Season 1.
Netflix’s Altered Carbon (dropping on February 2nd), gets almost everything right. It’s a cyberpunk fantasyland that checks off all the standard items on your sci-fi shopping list: flying cars, cool guns that make heads explode, and no shortage of genetically modified strippers. Rest assured, if you find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of futuristic jargon being thrown at you in the first installment, by Episode 3 words like stacks, meths, and sleeves will become second-nature.
The show takes place in a world where technology has rendered death a thing of the past. When you die, your consciousness can be transferred into a different body, or “resleeved,” making eternal life possible. But even immortality can’t completely change human nature, as demonstrated by the Meths -- the wealthy ruling class who use their money to stay young and beautiful forever. These are the kind of people who enjoy watching the less fortunate slaughter each other: Instead of Monday Night Football, there’s zero-g cage fighting.
