    Storyline

    Edit
    In a distant future, in a dystopic society where people's consciousness and memories are stored in devices and then resleeved into another body, the Alcatraz prisoner Takeshi Kovacs is awakened 250 years after his death. He has recollections of his and his beloved companion Ava's deaths, and soon, he learns that the upper-class millionaire Laurens Bancroft is responsible for his awakening in a body of a strong man to investigate who has killed him. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

      Quellcrist Falconer: First thing you'll learn is that nothing is what it seems. Ignore your assumptions. Don't trust anything. What you see, what you hear, what people tell you, what you think you remember

    5/10
    It's okay.
    8/10? Seriously?? Jesus, no. The acting from that police woman was horrendous. Dialogue feels off/forced to be witty. The universe seems interesting, so it's a shame that the pacing ruins the pilot. It just feels weird. I know that's not the best review but hey I'm just telling you how I felt about this particular episode.
