Valós halál

I'm giving Season 1 four stars. The reason why I didn’t give a fifth one was that it had a few minor flaws that piled up. But overall, I liked the series a lot. The premise didn't seem very original, but the execution was excellent. True, some of the names took me by surprise (Takeshi Kovacs, Gottfried Saito), but then again, why not? What I think was a bad move was casting Dichen Lachman as Reileen Kawahara, I really wouldn't believe for a second that she wasn't on the dark side of the Force. What I really enjoyed was the setting, they did a great job creating the world of the future. I would check into the Raven Hotel in a heartbeat, I would love to stay there. The first season managed to maintain a great atmosphere pretty much throughout. There were decent action scenes, and I really enjoyed the story. I'm looking forward to the next season. // I can't help it but Renée Goldsberry as Quellcrist Falconer reminds me so much of Citra Talugmai from Far Cry 3. 4*+ (2018.07.29)

The main character might not have been as disoriented as John Spartan upon waking up, but he still amused me. The Swedish lead was great, and it was nice to see James Purefoy in another of his signature roles. The premise doesn’t seem too original, so I’m hoping the concept of life-transfer chips will add a unique twist. (2018.07.27)

Yes, this will work. I enjoyed the second episode even more than the pilot. It feels like everything is starting to pick up in the right way. The story's pace isn't frantic, but I don't mind at all. The action is used sparingly, but when it happens, it's done well, and I really like the overall atmosphere. (2018.07.27)

Still satisfied after the third episode. Poe, the personification of the Raven Hotel, keeps growing on me. He's one of those side characters who isn't essential to the plot but makes it so much better. Bancroft's party convinced me that people just love gladiators, and the encounter with the twelfth daughter was enlightening. (2018.07.28)

This time, the creators picked up the pace and delivered an episode that could teach CIA operatives a thing or two about interrogations. The episode had a unique atmosphere, only broken by the amusing moments with the grandmother. The ending topped it all off nicely. (2018.07.28)

A fantastic atmosphere, with plenty of tension, action, and even a bit of romance. I had a great time watching, and piecing together more of the puzzle. The creators really excel at crafting strong episode endings. (2018.07.28)

I was a bit torn. The episode was weaker than the previous one, and the fight at the end didn’t quite convince me. Takeshi Kovacs didn’t perform as well as I expected given his abilities, and I didn’t understand why Ortega didn’t fully utilize her new arm. 4*+ (2018.07.28)

The episode was pretty disappointing for me. It focused entirely on the past, so the story didn't move forward at all. The flashbacks didn’t reveal anything surprising; everything I learned could have been easily inferred from previous episodes. The only interesting part was filling in some details. (2018.07.29)

After the previous detour, the main story is back in full swing, letting me enjoy the atmosphere of this new world again. While it wasn't the most action-packed episode, I had a great time with the plot Bancroft's story, and Ava was perfect for some good laughs. The only thing missing was a kiss at the reunion:-) (2018.07.29)

Things got a bit more intense. It's interesting how, in this version of the future, people don't worry about what to wear but rather who to wear. I can almost hear the questions: "Honey, do I look fat in this body?" "How about now?" Jokes aside, I had a great time. The atmosphere, tension, and action were all on point. (2018.07.29)

The ending felt a bit too happy for my taste, but despite a few flaws, I decided to give it five stars. The creators didn't hold back and weren't afraid to sacrifice some characters. For me, the toughest loss was a life that wasn't really a life at all. Somehow, I had grown quite fond of it. (2018.07.29)

I thought I would gradually get used to the new cast. However, as the story progressed, it became evident that they hadn’t found a suitable replacement for Joel Kinnaman or James Purefoy, which had a negative effect on the whole. I wasn't really interested in the supporting characters, even Poe lost his charm. The story wasn’t very impressive either. Plus, the whole second season had a cheap feel to it, there was practically no atmosphere, and I was often bored. A huge disappointment. (2020.07.08)

I knew I'd find it hard to get used to Takeshi's new case, and I'll certainly miss Purefoy's charismatic antagonist. The story has echoes of the first season, with some subtle nuances thrown in. Let's see where it takes us from here. (2020.07.06)

The second season continues to leave me underwhelmed. The new storyline fails to captivate me. I find myself longing for a truly charismatic character to anchor the narrative. Here's hoping things pick up soon. (2020.07.06)

At last, a four-star rating, albeit with reservations. While this episode showcased improved pacing compared to its predecessors, it still falls short of the captivating narrative of the first season. Somehow, it fails to fully engage me. 4*- (2020.07.07)

The creators seem to have realized how weak the characters are, resorting to revisiting familiar faces from the previous season. Yet, I'm skeptical if this move will salvage the plot by using inquisitional strategies. It's just not clicking for me. (2020.07.07)

I'm committed to finishing the season, with only three episodes left, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it. It's disappointing how much more prominent Poe has become this season. It feels like they're overdoing it. The episode felt dull, and Poe's virtual expedition only added to that feeling. (2020.07.07)

All this running through the forest and cave exploration is giving me serious The 100 vibes. And to add to the disappointment, it feels like the creators skimped on the budget for the second season, making it look painfully cheap. (2020.07.08)

Well, things have taken a turn for the worse. There's been a decrease in outdoor runs, but it's been replaced with even more running in the Matrix. Sometimes, I wonder if the creators themselves can distinguish between the two. With the way things are going, I wouldn't be shocked if they brought in the Mother of Dragons herself (though that's a different series altogether, but hey, who's keeping track?). (2020.07.08)

What a fairy tale! Yaay! All it needed was some snow, a Christmas tree, a crackling fireplace, and Santa to make it a perfect holiday story. What a fantastic way to wrap up the season and leave the door open for a potential next one. Well, count me out! (2020.07.08)
