I haven't watched it, too busy working my way through Babylon Berlin.

Just started watching it, absolutely great. Never realized how decadent Berlin was in 1929. Also like the English subtitles as I can try and improve my German.

Yeah I'll go ahead and say it. If you wake up in a knock off Blade Runner mumblecore cable sci fi show 250 years in the future and you absolutely have to choose a new skin...

That's a solid choice.

Just started watching series one. The plot's a hairball, but the set design/actors/production values are top notch. Sometimes that's all you need.

Thanks for the heads up, I liked the first season and was hoping it would be picked for more.

Anthony Mackie (Falcon in Marvel movies) is the new lead. Simone Missick (Misty Knight from the Luke Cage Netflix) is in S2. I'll at least watch a few episodes for her.

So I parsed out about an episode a night, thats how much I loved this 2nd season. I could easily have binged the entire thing in a day, but I took the tantric approach, and it was worth it..Poe the AI is my favorite character, they really developed him this 2nd season. Lots of great stuff, new characters who are old ones, and a few like the governor made for a really nice seasonal story line.

They definitely left it open for another season, really hope it gets the nod. Two thumbs up from me...

I just finished Season 2. Liked it even better than Season 1. Season 1 seemed darker. Liked the characters more this season.

I tried watching S2. Got a couple of episodes and realized I didn't care about any of the characters and was tired of following his story. I may give it another try in a few weeks as this is one I want to like. Hoping it just may be my mood of the week.

That happens to me more and more it seems. With Altered Carbon I found the governor to be attractive so maybe that's why I kept watching.

Yeah, I thought season 2 was ok but not great. I also read the books and the series (both seasons) diverged quite a bit from those, and probably not in the best ways.

If you need another fix, Netflix also has an animated stand-alone Altered Carbon movie queued up at the moment.

Yep, saw that one too. It was ok. Kind of standard anime type stuff.
