Trivia
Every season 1 episode is named after a classic film noir.

Goofs
In the opening credits of season 2, it says 'based on the book by Richard K Morgan', and the only other clue to hang this on is that the production is called Altered Carbon; however, season 2 is actually based on an amalgam of the books entitled Broken Angels and Woken Furies, respectively, and does not cover any material described in the book entitled Altered Carbon.

Quotes
Takeshi Kovacs: She's not my girl.
Kristin Ortega: I'm not his girl.

9/10

Season 1 was phenomenal. Season 2 became a blockbuster.

All I have to say, is that season one was much more tightly written. Fewer characters, better director.(s) better cinematography, better camera manipulation? It took me a while to watch season two based off of my trust in those who said it was nothing like season one. But eventually I decided to watch it. I love the lore of altered Carbon, but season two was way more bloated and sort of directorially all over the place. I really can't emphasize the fact that it was such a bloated eight episodes. Which really makes sense when you watch it. But I really do love the first season. It goes down in history as far as on my favorite seasons of any show ever.
