Season 2 is a go, with Anthony Mackey taking over for Kinnaman. 8 eps.

Nice. Since Mackie is taking over as Kovacs, I assume they're going to use the next book Fallen Angels as the story?

I would assume so, but who knows.

They could go anywhere with it, for sure.

I loved Altered Carbon as a book. The future noir setting and story really clicked with me. I was pumped to get into Fallen Angels, but I never could for some reason. Everything about it usually appeals to my sci-fi side, but I just couldn't finish it. I keep false starting when I try to get back and going with the book.

why did Joel Kinnaman not want to do season 2?

It’s still going to be the same man, same backstory? Just put a different guy in like we won’t notice?

He's probably just transferred to another body for some reason. Easy peasy.

Yeah presumably the cop was supposed to get his body back after the case was solved.

okay, that’s an acceptable plot line. Forgot he was supposed to get his body back.

Season two is available.

Sweet! Loved the first season.

The third book feels a little closer to the first. The second is kinda standalone, too, so you can skip it tbh.

Just binged season 2. Holy hat, i love this show.

About halfway through season 2 and I'm not loving it so far. It's such a tonal departure from season 1 that it just seems completely disconnected (yes, I've read the books; I know...).

But I don't think I really dug season 1 until the 2nd time I saw it, either.

Season 1 was much better. The lore in season 2 was interesting, but the plotline was just too easy imo
