season 2

I don't like the new actor's face.

He has that weird "wall eyed" look where his eyes are more on the side of his head than facing forward. He was okay in Avengers though but most because he was a cheerful character. I saw the trailer for this and was like Whoa at his face.

Also, I loved the books but the first season had nothing to do with them, that much, and the lead character isn't Chinese, he's a mix like Keanu Reeves and so I thought they were doing some racist stuff. There also wasn't enough world building as there is in the book.

I might check it out but there seems to be a lot of changes so it's like a completely different show, lol.

I am also hating Anthony Mackies take on Takeshi Kovacs.
The sarcasm, the humour, world weary aloofness- all of it has gone.
I simply just don’t buy that this is the same character in a different sleeve which is what the entire premise of the show/world is built upon.

I am only on episode 4 and it is definitely getting better as it goes along but boy, those first 2 episodes were a struggle.

I don’t want to spoil anything but so far the only thing keeping me engaged are all the ‘faces’ that are familiar from Season 1.

After 3 episodes it feels like a crappy fanfic.

I hear in Season 3 if they do make it (I hope) it will be a woman sleeve this time. Each time you transfer to a new sleeve, you change a bit or rather your stack does so it makes sense he isn't really completely the same as before (spirit degrades; can't quantify the change but they are not the same). You know this once you watch the first episode when he goes back to the old hotel where he meets some Japanese dude he saved 300 years ago from the Protectorate.

I liked season 2, and finished it in a row.
