All I can say is – good grief its superb! Hits all the right buttons for me, I can’t stop watching.
Season 3 is out next year - anyone else seen this? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 5,668 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 5,668 | yup! It's a great great series! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,955 Likes: 6 Member |  Member Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,955 Likes: 6 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,603 Likes: 10 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,603 Likes: 10 | | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,900 Likes: 14 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,900 Likes: 14 | Good to know. I had considered watching it but hadn't gotten around to it. I will add it to my watch list. Thanks! | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 78,307 Likes: 67 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 78,307 Likes: 67 | Looks good! First season is out on DVD, added it to my Wishlist!

At first, I didn't like what they did with Miller and Holden's characters---I read Miller as more of a Samuel L. and Holden as a Ryan Reynolds---but the adaptation worked superbly once it got into its stride.
I see they're making Altered Carbon into a TV series now. That will be much harder to do justice too imo. A very visual world and some adult content. I mean, the sex scenes in the book were pornographic. Well written though. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 3,231 Ooze-based life form Member | | OP Ooze-based life form Member Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 3,231 | I'm looking forward to seeing how they progress the characters in the TV show especially Amos who i'm sure is going to have some form of psychotic break especially after speaking with that protomolecule scientist they rescued.
I love the level of attention to detail in the show and the whole Belter culture and the language element is just glorious to watch - exactly what I would expect to see when humanity leaves earth behind for a few hundered years. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,087 Likes: 7 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,087 Likes: 7 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,519 Likes: 3 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,519 Likes: 3 | Undoubtedly my favorite show. Can't wait for season 4, and thanks for the link LionHawke! I donated to the campaign and perhaps I'll do a game here based on the shows RPG.

Has a sort of Babylon 5 vibe but more gritty. Cool!  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,955 Likes: 6 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,955 Likes: 6 | I suspect I am going to have to do something dubious on the internet to get at Season 3 - it has no release date in NZ  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 3,231 Ooze-based life form Member | | OP Ooze-based life form Member Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 3,231 | It should be avaliable on Netflix fairly soon | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,087 Likes: 7 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,087 Likes: 7 | Definitely a B5 vibe. Politics are even more relatable. Chrisjen is awesome! Love that actress. I broke down and got the Apple season pass. Not quite done, because of starting classes back up, but it is tough to watch just one episode at a time.
Would be very intrigued to be part of a storyplay based upon it. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 3,231 Ooze-based life form Member | | OP Ooze-based life form Member Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 3,231 | Gotta love those Belters though, if there was a game for this setting I would definately play one. I'm especially impressed by the level of detail they go into with the Belter language, it sounds so believable. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 5,668 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 5,668 | can't get it on netflix in the US | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,190 Likes: 2 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,190 Likes: 2 | I just found it on Amazon Prime and am starting to watch Season 1. These reviews are too tempting to pass up.

Perhaps its a distribution / licensing thing between the Sci-fi channel and Netflix in the US. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,315 Likes: 6 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,315 Likes: 6 | I am sure it will show up here before long <g>

It likely won't hop to Netflix since it is a Prime property now and the reason we're getting season 4. | | |
