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

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.
