In a society whereby you can actually transfer conscientiousness to another body makes a whole lot of changes to the people living in it. Altered Carbon takes us to a Place in the near future where humans had actually explored the Cosmos and in its discovery came across a Technology they call “Stack Technology” which basically enabled them to prolong their lives so they can actually explore more galaxies and planets. So after acquiring such technology – knowing humans they have industrialize the technology for their own profits. Now conscientiousness resides on a computing device known as “Stacks” and the Human body merely became a “Sleeve” which can be worn by anybody with lots of money.

Netflix – Altered Carbon

This bring us to our hero who’s name is Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman) – when asked what kind of name is that, he mentioned my parents were Slovenian and Japanese. What a mixture, but Takeshi had only one mission which is to save his sister’s life Reileen (Dichen Lachman). He thought he did so by joining an Elite Interstellar group called the “Protectorate” which basically is a Para governmental group (CTAC) that roams the galaxy fighting criminals and rogue fractions. Let’s call them the FBI of the future. Fortunately Takeshi runs into his sister Rei on a Mission which forces both to turn against their organization and forces them to join a Rebel group commanded by  Quellcrist(Renee Elise Goldsberry). 

Long story short, Takeshi was later imprisoned for 250 years after being woken up, he was acquired by Laurens Bancroft(James Purefoy) who hired him to investigate his own Murder. which eventually Takeshi did but revealing other dangerous and criminal activity that is going on in their very own society which involved Bancroft and his very own sister caught up in the middle. At the end, he kills the person he has been trying to protect for over 300 years in order to save the future from destruction. I love the concept and the idea of the series, it depicts how humans will become if they live too long and what people will do for money. It talks about sexual inequality and the power it uses to enslave others. Lovely series one that I think everyone should watch, however it does contain a lot of sexual explicit content which might not be suitable for the young minds.
