IGN

Netflix’s Altered Carbon (dropping on February 2nd), gets almost everything right. It’s a cyberpunk fantasyland that checks off all the standard items on your sci-fi shopping list: flying cars, cool guns that make heads explode, and no shortage of genetically modified strippers.

Altered Carbon imagined a world where the limits of our bodies don’t have to limit our experiences.

Variety

'Altered Carbon' is packed with facsimiles: The main conceit of this slow-building but satisfying series is that people can download their consciousness into a series of bodies, or 'sleeves,' indefinitely.

Vox

There are a lot of serious topics covered in Altered Carbon, a new science fiction series from Netflix. The show touches on income inequality, classism, and the nature of identity. It’s surprisingly gripping, especially in its superior back half.

Vulture

The cyberpunk sci-fi series, which debuted Friday on Netflix, is ambitious, convoluted, violent, derivative, and somehow simultaneously grimy and glossy.

IMDb

They did the series a disservice by miscasting Kovacs in season 2. Anthony Mackie is a great actor in his own right but failed to capture and continue Joel Kinnaman's and Will Yun Lee's take on Takeshi Kovacs.

Rotten Tomatoes

"Altered Carbon leans hard into its cyberpunk roots, serving up an ambitiously pulpy viewing experience that often overwhelms, but never bores."
