Two episodes in, it's been kind of tepid so far, maybe the condensed narrative is also making it hard for me to follow the happenings.

Yeah. It seemed to get decent reviews but I'm also two episodes in and not warming to it yet.
The Wedge fight scene/massacre was ridiculous.

not half as ridiculous as the naked swordfight in s1.

Only watched the premiere so far. Mackie is a far better actor than Kinnaman, so I'm on board from that angle but the plot is not holding my interest so far.

in a way the problem with this -- i'm still only in s1 -- is that the chandler-noir is itself now a worn-out sleeve for the fuller form of story this wants to tell

Also, Poe should have been played by Paul F Tompkins

poe i kind of like, it's like the AI-in-the-reality is programmed to manifest as fourth-rate steampunk, which seems p likely (it's a third-rate hotel)

Third episode is warming up a bit, particularly Poe's storyline which has a poignant scene, but also some troubling codependency.

ugh here is why chandleresque noir is the wrong frame: it's always just village politics and the scope of this needed to be bigger, i don't mind ppl in difft bodies living across centuries, that's part of the cap-I issue under examination, but they shouldn't all be running into one another and all doing all the stuff

tbh that is the best kovacs actor

Finished this, kind of a disjointed season not helped by how Mackie's Kovacs is mostly one-note (sour, grumpy). Finale is pretty good though.

the anime movie they've released is low on plot, high on action

i loved the first season, feel like s2 is just a Total Recall remix.

Huh, I didn't even realize Netflix had a spinoff. Will definitely check it out!
