When Netflix canceled Altered Carbon in 2020, I was devastated that the story of Takeshi Kovacs hadn’t made it past the second season, but the ending of Altered Carbon season 2 eventually caused me to engage with the franchise in a way I may never have done otherwise. I love sci-fi, and Altered Carbon season 1 immediately pulled me in. The show’s premise was unlike any I had ever seen, and it was at a time when Netflix was favoring the genre and creating sci-fi projects with stunning visuals.
