Altered Carbon Have you seen it

Altered Carbon is a sci-fi series based on the novel of the same name by Richard K. Morgan. It's set in the distant future, when humans have used alien technology to store their personalities in discs called "cortical stacks" emebedded in the back of their necks. When someone dies, as long as the disc is intact their personality can be put into a new body, or "skin", allowing the very rich to change their appearance at will or remain young using younger clones of themselves.

Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman) is killed, only to wake 250 years later, when a member of the wealthy elite wants him to solve a murder.

Altered Carbon premiered in February 2018 and season 1 currently available for streaming on Netflix. Have you seen it, and if so, what do you think of it?
