Seriously though, this is great tv.
Without spoiling anything, we follow Takeshi Kovacs (most cyberpunk name ever), a recently released and "resleeved" terrorist/freedomfighter that spent the last 250 years locked away, without a body, sentenced to rot in "jail" forever.
You see, this is a world where people don't die - they simply replace their bodies, or sleeves as they're called, and they keep on going.
Takeshi is offered a chance at freedom, if he finds a killer. Soon things turn out to be more complicated than he anticipated. I know this cryptic bs is.. well, bs, but I really don't want to spoil anything.
Give it a try. If you're into dark, intelligent sf and don't mind extreme violence, you'll love it.
Started watchig this yesterday and also 4 eps in.
Fun stuff.
