Altered Carbon - Season 2
The second season deals with a series of events, especially thirty years after the Bancroft case. Throughout that period, Meth tracks a search for Kovacs to provide him with a new job, a different path, and an opportunity to see Quellcrist Falconer. On the other hand, Colonel Carrera is responsible for investigating the killings, which have caused real controversy.

A worthy followup that, at times, surpasses the first season with a more expansive universe that stretches far beyond the confines of Bay City.February 27, 2020
I found myself desperately wishing for Altered Carbon to leave its world of endless lives, satellite back ups, and shapeless political revolutions behind, to focus... on the AIs discarded by humanity as yet another resource to be wasted and forgotten.February 27, 2020
The ideas behind the premise are so good, the potential to examine existential issues about identity and humanity and how they're tied up in our physical form are so great, that it's frustrating to see how often the show takes a too-shallow approach.February 25, 2020
It combines what worked best in the show's first year with a more intimate and important mystery, which makes for a more compelling story.February 27, 2020
Initially, Kovacs investigating the death of yet another meth is worrisome, but Altered Carbon manages to switch gears and deliver a much more cohesive and emotionally grounded season.February 27, 2020
The story manages to breathe and present us something that is, directly, more entertaining. [Full Review in Spanish]February 27, 2020
It still falls short of its potential, but Altered Carbon has probably done enough to ensure it runs for years to come. A lump of graphite, if not quite the full diamond.February 26, 2020
Few TV shows manage to get the writing, acting, and directing right, but the second season of Altered Carbon will keep people talking for months, if not years after it hits the air.February 27, 2020
It's no secret Mackie is a Hollywood veteran, but this is the first time he has had eight hours of screen time to stretch his legs as one character - and he is fantastic.February 27, 2020
By the season finale, it becomes clear that this has stopped being the Kovacs show and, instead, an ensemble endeavour that manages to satisfyingly tie up a season arc while teasing storylines yet to be explored.February 27, 2020
Altered Carbon also succeeds at the level of breathtaking spectacle. After a stuttering first season, a would-be blockbuster has belatedly but emphatically achieved lift-off.February 27, 2020
Thankfully, it seems creator Laeta Kalogridis and the series producers have taken this on board, and this time around there's not a ridiculously see-through gown or inexplicable nude scene in sight.
