If you don’t remember the difference between a “DHF” and a “stack” or you don’t know your “needlecasting” from your “re-sleeves,” you’re going to need some help navigating the endless acronyms and fictional techno-babble of the Altered Carbon universeĪs mentioned above, Mackie debuts in the lead role and is a solid, charismatic choice to fill Kovacs’ shoes, taking over from Joel Kinnaman’s run during Season 1. But just because this season is a little more user friendly, don’t close out your Google search just yet.
Much of the fat that weighed down Season 1 has been replaced with a more personal mission for Kovacs, while still retaining that cyberpunk/detective noir vibe.Įven the overall season length has been streamlined from ten episodes to eight, all with a shorter-than-average length, helping further the ease of consumption for Season 2. Netflix provided us with the entirety of Season 2, which boasts a leaner, more easily digestible cyberpunk thriller than its predecessor with surprise new sleeves, new characters and superbly crafted action.
Thirty years after the Bancroft case that drove the intrigue of the first season, our detective noir hero finds himself returning to his birth planet, Harland’s World, with a new, upgraded sleeve (Anthony Mackie) and a new mystery leading him back to his centuries-old lost love: Quellquist Falconer (Renée Elise Goldsberry). Altered Carbon is being spun up for a second season on Netflix and Takeshi Kovacs’ past is coming back to haunt him.
