Altered Carbon: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

"A Bond-like pastiche that delivers the sex and violence of 007 without any of the style or substance."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"Flashy, flawed and fun."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Ambitious, dense and thrilling."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"More than merely an intricate whodunit."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"A hollow shell of a series about hollow shells of people."

IndieWireIndieWire

"Convoluted, digressive and long."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Throwing the murder mystery into the mix overcomplicates things."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Probably best not to ask too many questions, but simply revel in the neon-lit retro-futuro stylings."

Financial TimesFinancial Times

"A sci-fi experiment gone awry."

CNNCNN

"Confronts the excesses of capitalism with an obvious but imaginatively visualized commentary."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"Often gratuitously violent and sexual, leaning on its gore and nudity as filler when the story drags."

USA TodayUSA Today

"Often ridiculous, but damned if it isn't the best-looking series Netflix has yet produced."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Think of Altered Carbon as a cyberpunk Game of Thrones."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"Over-stacked cyberpunk mess."

VultureVulture

"It's the human touches, humour and the essentially traditional storyline that makes it appealing."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"Surprisingly gripping, especially in its superior back half."

VoxVox

"Intermittently thrilling, but it’s too superficial to realize its potential."

The AtlanticThe Atlantic
