Nobody remembers Altered Carbon in these exchanges

I thought Season 1 was good, and Season 2 was (unfortunately) absolute crap.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah the show runner changed between seasons. The quality of the whole show dropped of a cliff.

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah, Mackie was unable to pull it together. The digital conclave was interesting tho

Do people on Lemmy actually watch this slop?

The irony of a megacorp making cyberpunk shows haha.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, it's not out yet. What do you watch then? Do you hold the same views about, I don't know, Mr. Robot and Severance?

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm not going to sit here and shit on popular shows, but yeah these were both terrible and left me feeling like i had wasted my time.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is very much a "the world and wrong, and I am right" sort of attitude. You may have rather idiosyncratic tastes.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not like I think all TV is worthless, just the vast, vast majority of it. Especially anything and everything that a company like Amazon is involved in.

I just thought the people on Lemmy are less interested in consuming corporate brain rot. Like seriously, the idea that AMAZON is funding a "cyberpunk" show should really be enough to turn you off.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Mr. Robot and Severance both are highly acclaimed by critics and audiences. They are both firmly prestige TV regardless of who funded them.

I completely forgot there’s a Blade Runner show happening. It’s Amazon so it can go either way, but I hope it’s good.

[–] Jeffool@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I don't know if I even knew there was one. I guess I have something to watch until the Cyberpunk show comes out!
