Richard Morgan's cyberpunk novel, Altered Carbon, turned out to be about as great as its Netflix adaptation. Or at least the first season of the show was much to my liking: I have not seen the second yet. In my opinion the show is one of the better ones Netflix has produced. I do wonder though how the second season is: the novel and its sequels are somewhat challenging to adapt for television because the characters tend to switch bodies. Claiming two people are the same person is difficult to believe when you don't have access to their thoughts like you do in a book. How well does the continuity work when the main character is played by a completely different actor.
