I couldn't even connect with anything at all, just kept seeing dudes with gold chains mouthing off and middle aged men acting tough. I didn't even understand the whole plot in season one.
It's a power tussle between the catholic church, mafia, local criminals and politicians. A window into many strata of roman society.

I think part of your disconnect comes from the English dubbing. It's ruins the experience. I know this from watching Netflix' Dark. At first, I tried watching it in English, but couldn't get into it, because of the fakeness of the lip syncing, then, I downloaded a german audio version, and voila... the rest as they say is history.

I streamed EP01-03 on Kodi because I couldn't find it anywhere else. If you have Kodi installed on your PC, just install "Convenent" add-on. You can watch practically any television series and movies in any language using this add-on. But, your data must be substantial oh, for it streams in HD. I'm trying to work out how to tether the HTML to my IDM so that I can download shows and movies to watch later.

Oh that seems like it will consume some serious data. I guess I will just mute mine when watching it. Or see if it has the Italian language as audio in the options .

Thanks anyway.

Well Macmafia was a thrill ride wink. I especially loved how it took cliche mafia themes and gave them its own unique spin, delivered in its own style with great performances from the actors most notably James Norton.
Ps::- Christopher meloni's performance in Happy is definitely worthy of recognition. He nailed it cool

There are few things you need to understand. First, Altered Carbon was very expensive to make. Netflix pumped in a lot of money to make the effects as real as possible. The visuals is mesmerizing and didn't hold back. 2nd, the show was set in the 26 century... humans have colonized the universe and all, and even encountered ALIEN TECHS (you'll see more of these in season 2). 3rd, Altered Carbon took place on a very ANCIENT Earth. There is a decay that pervades everything, from infrastructural decay to moral ineptitude/decay. Only the extreme rich (the meths) can escape the squalor (f**ked up slums and dirty streets as you put it) and live above the clouds in in their palatial organic towers. 4th, people can choose to live forever, because of an invention called STACK , a little computer that is installed in a person's brain, on it a person’s consciousness is installed like software. The idea is even if you are killed, and the stack remains intact, you can simply be put inside a new body (sleeve) allowing you to live again. Bottom line, the world changed, and people's way of thinking along with it. Vernon (the black dude) did what he thought was best at the time.

Altered Carbon has it's flaws, but above all, it's a solid entertainment, from the impressive CGIs to the top quality fight scenes to character development. Don't get it twisted.

The MVP in the show is Quellcrest Falconer

Takeshi(both sleeves) really tried

But the Infrastructure tbh is poor , imagine a century with that technology, even the Bancroft mansion is not that technologically equipped

I started watching the show cos someone here said itz similar to Black Mirror

I feel the whole sci-fi tin cos I learned in Black Mirror that itz about how technology affects us in da future,and the Envoy/Quellcrest storyline is good
The detective storyline is also good

That black guys story was bad, and about the Slums, Takeshi is living in a technology advanced Hotel in which an AI operates it, I expected much better tech and the strees their are really dirty

That fightdrome storyline is whack. 26th Century and people are into fistfight?

The show to me is an average show 5/10

Not that technologically equipped..? You didn't make any sense here. The man has an organic tower that is literally above the clouds, that grow trees and other vegetations on the outside, then on the inside, cultivate a huge living tree imported from Harlan's world (Tak's home planet). I don't know what other technology you're looking for, but for those with perception, that's a mind blowing science at it's peak. Just imagine a tower that can support life all on it's own, a conscious house. But somehow, you missed this... in your quest for flashy shiny gadgets, perhaps? Even the gravity tech manage to escape your flimsy attention to details. Remember the gravity fight??

First, I would like to point out that this show is nothing like Black Mirror. It's based on a science fiction crime noir trilogy written by a british author. Altered Carbon is only but the first part of the Takeshi Kovac chronicle. 2nd, there is no Envoy/Quellcrist storyline. What you see spread evenly throughout the show is nothing but flashbacks. It tells us how Kovacs came about, why and how he became an Envoy. The backstory also revealed to us that it's Quellcrist that invented Stack - the brain computer that downloads consciousness. 3rd, there is no detective storyline. It's the main plot to begin with. All others are nothing but subplots.

You didn't make any sense here at all. I don't have any slightest idea what you are on about. AI (Artificial Intelligence) entities control a host of businesses around town. Just take a moment and process this. Something that isn't human but can have it's own thoughts, make it's own decisions, and most importantly, have human employees... the concept is mind blowing, but no, you haven't given this a thought at all as you would rather fixate on flashy techs and pristine streets. I honestly don't know what else you expect here mehn.

Kanurii:

Oh lawd... There is no fightdome storyline. And I don't know what else you expected from something clearly dubbed "FIGHTDOME". In a century where bodies are nothing but clothes to wear and discard, jacked-up fist fight with all kinds of barbaric weaponry thrown in make more sense than ever. 26 century and people are into fistfight...? Man is still a man at the core, and man primitive instincts will always take precedence when he's cornered. Let's all agree you don't understand sci-fi at all. It's okay not to... it's not for everyone.
