Altered Carbon Season 2 (Netflix)
In retrospect, wow does season 1 make a lot more sense in a post-Epstein-"suicide" world.
To sum up, the first season is about how the creation of immortality technology allowed the oligarchy to continue accruing wealth to absolutely absurd degrees. It remains one of the sleaziest shows on Netflix, but now I get that it's a sci-fi exploration of the destructive effects of our growing wealth inequality. The ending that I originally thought was over the top is actually quite apt now that Lolita Island is common knowledge.
The second season, unfortunately, chucks the first season's entire theme and just makes it about the weak sci-fi worldbuilding details that scaffolded the theme in the first season, with a boring and predictable soap opera-y plot, and barely any of the gratuitous nudity of season 1.
It's the Horta episode of Star Trek if they decided the Horta and the Mine foreman were both evil and incinerated them both from orbit.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.
An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.
Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"
