Another member responded: "I loved Altered Carbon season one, and it stands alone nicely." A third concurred: "Yes, first season is excellent." Elsewhere across social media, enthusiastic viewers have continued to champion the series. One wrote: "I loved both seasons. I rewatch them regularly." Another noted: "I'm a little late to the show but Altered Carbon is the best thing I've ever watched. I don't know how many times I rewatched it again and again since it came out. The show is like perfection of some sci-fi, anime movie done right. Nothing ever will top Altered Carbon season one for me. Best series of my life. I don't think Hollywood has made anything good like this before after Matrix."

What Is the Storyline?

For those who have not watched it, Altered Carbon is an American cyberpunk television series conceived by Laeta Kalogridis. It draws inspiration from the 2002 novel of the same name by English writer Richard K. Morgan. Audiences are transported into a reality where consciousness can be transplanted between different bodies. Here, Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier turned investigator, is freed from prison charged with solving a murder.

Series Details and Reception

The inaugural series actually arrived on Netflix in 2018, with a second following two years later. Despite being available for some time, audiences remain captivated by it. At the time, the series garnered largely favourable reviews, although only two seasons were produced. The cast includes Anthony Mackie, Lela Loren, and Simone Missick. The Netflix synopsis states: "After 250 years on ice, a prisoner returns to life in a new body with one chance to win his freedom: by solving a mind-bending murder."
