The premise is a simple one, a few centuries in the future death has become nothing but an option. If your body were to expire you can have your consciousness transferred to another body and keep repeating the process forever. But this has formed a meritocracy where only those who can afford it get to keep a clone of their bodies and others who cannot get any body available, no matter if the new one is a different age, gender or race.
Joel Kinnaman stars as the rebel mercenary Takeshi Kovacs, who is brought back upon the request of a billionaire to solve his own murder, but as the mystery deepens the story starts having multiple layers, characters, sub plots, and none of them let you want to wait to see what's next.
The series is very well paced, the CGI is actually better than a lot of high budget movies, and it takes full advantage of the Netflix platform non-restrictions when it comes to mature subjects like violence, nudity, etc.
But the series also takes full advantage of its talented cast, including the amazingly talented Martha Higareda (Mariachi Gringo) who co-stars as a Police Lieutenant with a mystery of her own, among other highly talented cast members.
I rate my movies and TV shows according to my level of enjoyment and I give Altered Carbon a 10 out of 10.
It kept me hooked for all 10 episodes and I highly recommend it.

Are we watching the same policewoman? She comes across as shrill, arrogant and rude, to me. I wish they would show less of her. Kinnaman isn't that great of an actor either, in my opinion.

How far have you gotten in the series? There's a reason she's uber pissed at the beginning. See, every mystery unravels by the end, no stone is left interred.

I finished episode 5, and yes, I know there is (kind of) a reason, that doesn't change my mind about her character, or the acting.
