![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kovacs is woken by Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), a Meth (the wealthiest citizens in the solar system) who wants Kovacs to investigate his death. The rebellion was quashed and Kovacs was eventually arrested, where his stack was placed in cold storage until he is awoken 250 years later in a new body (Joel Kinnaman). The army were rebelling against the Protectorate, the body governing all planets in the solar system, and also against stacks and eternal life. Season 1 introduces us to Takeshi Kovacs (Will Yun Lee), an envoy soldier who formed part of a resistance army led by Quellchrist Falconer (Renee Elise Goldberry). It’s just a shame that season 2 doesn’t live up to its predecessor. The story weaved around this central plot is done to almost perfection in season 1, resulting in one of the best sci-fi series I’ve seen in a long time. The main plot centres around the idea that in the future human consciousness is stored on ‘stacks’ – devices inserted into a person’s neck and that the human body is merely a ‘sleeve’ to be used as a means to achieve eternal life, with people able to swap bodies and have their consciousness stack inserted into a new sleeve whenever they like. Season 1 aired back in 2018, with the second, and sadly last, season following in February 2020. Altered Carbon is a Netflix sci-fi series based on the novel of the same name by Richard K. ![]()
