        Anyone give Altered Carbon more than 15 minutes of their attention?

        Watched all 10 eps in one hit, worth the time I think especially when you start getting some of the back story and it all starts coming together.

          Hmm. Does the acting get any better? The scene in the first episode where they land in that gated community and the kid shows up after having been pulled over for a DUI was awful. Just awful.

            Finished season 1 of Atlanta last night. It has its moments. Best show on TV, though? I don't see it.

              Nope. It gets worse. Max Headroom shows up as some type of clown and it’s all uphill from
              There. Altered carbon is getting worse by the episode. I’m gonna finish it though because I’m a sickie.

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                The only wife is going away with the smalls next week so I have a few days to binge on Sci-fi. Altered Carbon is top of the list. I’m a big fan of Richard Morgan who wrote the book.

                  Have you David Simon fans seen Generation Kill? Best mini series EVER  😎

                  Just started a 2nd tour of SHOW ME A HERO… Which I think is even better (if you like politics)...

                    I do like it on some level. And I’m sure the book is great, but let me know if you think the executed the show well

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      Reading it right now, based on your rec.  Liking it a lot, but I have a hard time seeing how the tv show can do it properly.  I'll be interested in your assessment.

                        Binge on sci-fi when the wife is away? Yeah right, that's what you'll be binging on. You keep telling yourself that  😃

                          It should be mentioned I'll be on holiday so there's a lot of hours in the day mate  😉

                          To be fair on this missus she's tolerant enough of all my viewing habits ( ??? ) and has watched Westworld and GoT with me (and enjoyed them) but AC looks a little too hard-boiled Sci-fi for her.

                          Seeing as you're a Brit, have you watched Britannia, and did you like it? I have and was pleasantly surprised, although I did feel it ran out of steam towards the end…

                            In the meantime I can recommend Godless on Netflix. Sublime, cinematic TV.

                            @neph93:

                            Seriously, Godless.

                            I listened to you and I'm glad I did. Three episodes in and I'm enjoying it a lot.

                            Thanks @neph93

                                I found it to be really  good quality TV. Glad your enjoying it.

                                  Godless was amazing.

                                  Currently been sucked into Bates Motel. Mrs loves it. I don’t mind it but it’s a bit teen drama. Lots of eye candy though which is helping me through it.

                                      Cut the cord on altered carbon. 7th episode. Couldn’t do it. Started the wire. Yeah I know… “what took you so long”

                                        The Wire is slow at first, especially if you're not used to David Simon's stuff. Stick with it, you'll be rewarded.

                                            Hey Bud. No, not seen Britannia yet, it's on a subscription channel I don't have. Can't wait for Vikings to come back though, on a historical theme.
