And it was...pretty one-dimensional.

I feel like the "rich live in the sky, poor live on the wasted earth" was over the top. As opposed to S1 of Altered Carbon which was way better at addressing this trope. The meths were depraved, but you could kinda understand it


they've been alive for so long, but want to continue to "feel alive" through ever more extreme experiences.

Altered carbon had excellent source material to work from. As much as I liked the series, the book soars in comparison.
