  The first season was phenomenal

    Yeah, but I didn’t like the character change they did in the series, simply because it wasn’t necessary. Nothing would’ve changed if they just followed the book, because it’s pretty straightforward and should work as a straight-up adaptation.

      As in, it was a different actor playing Kovacs in the second series? Wouldn’t it have been more weird for him to have found an exactly similar sleeve on a totally unrelated world?

      Of course it should have felt like exactly the same person in a different skin - if that’s not true blame the acting and directing!

        No, I’m talking about making Reileen Kawahara his sister (in the show) instead of having no relation to him (in the books). There wasn’t any emotional connection anyway with how they executed it in the show, so I don’t see the point of making them related.
