After all the carnage, fire, and retribution, Altered Carbon leaves us with a sense of closure, a solved case, and direction for the future, should the series be renewed for a second season.
Despite a bit of a sag mid-season, the tightness of the writing and the well-thought-out story arcs shine in this and the previous episodes. There was always more going on than we realized. The ending is heavy and as poetic as it is dramatic.
If the series is renewed, the producers will have to pull off some fancy casting or sleeve sleight of hand in order to reuse the same cast. One of the downsides of Altering so much Carbon I suppose.
Well worth the watch. I believe those who gave it a negative review probably checked out among the handful of episodes in the middle that deviated from form enough to almost feel like a different show. If you enjoyed the first 3-4 episodes, stick with it. Altered Carbon finishes strong!
