Altered Carbon (2018-)

An inmate with special abilities is revived in order to investigate a crime in a future where minds can be digitally stored.

A wonderful mix of genres that should satisfy all tastes: Sci-Fi, police investigation, drama. The reality and mythology of this future is fascinating and opens up unexpected possibilities for building a political-social context that actually makes sense, with its own versions of religious conflicts and conflicts caused by social status. The investigation and the crime itself are unusual and offer a main reason become addicted to this series. When you add some pseudo time travel, virtual reality, sentimental confusion, Blade Runner-like action, changing bodies like they're clothes, the recipe becomes irresistible.
It is unbelievably unfair that this series is not more talked about.

Production: Netflix
Creator: Laeta Kalogridis
Featuring: Joel Kinnaman, James Purefoy, Martha Higareda, Kristin Lehman, Renée Elise Goldsberry
