New Netflix show. Looks intriguing. Anybody watched it yet? Thoughts?

Wasn't great, wasn't bad. It's an adult oriented show with high production values which is something I appreciate, but I felt some of the characters were a little cookie cutter in their presentation - overly compensating through aggression female cop and vengeance driven father were two that stood out in that respect.

I'm the type that is more apt to enjoy a show like Ozark or Narcos than Sci-Fi, so my opinion is obviously going to be a bit skewed.

4 episodes in and I’m glad I stuck with it. I really like the world building and the body-switching aspect leaves a lot open for more seasons of the same characters but with different actors.

I heard randomly at a bar it was based off of Edgar Allan Poe. Is that true?

I put it on my watch list on Netflix anyway

7 episodes in. In my opinion episodes 5 and 6 were great. The whole show is very good to this point. Looking forward to the final three episodes.

3 episodes in. Wow. I love it.

SPOILERS INCOMING

So 3 episodes in and I feel like the Meths are like the elite society that watch people die like the purge. Or the Capitol in the hunger games. Then Ortega obviously has something to do with Kovacs past. Maybe his childhood friend that got reincarnated like he did. Also does Bancroft know he's ******* his 12th daughter right now or does he not care? And Kovacs has a lot of work to do to get out of this one

We loved it as well. Intriguing concept, lots of violence and sci-fi, that's a winning combo.
