SERIES FINALE: Netflix is spending a lot of money and effort lately on big-budget science fiction movies and TV series, and here comes another one. Based on the novel by Richard K. Morgan, it’s set in a future in which people can transfer and transplant their consciousness to other bodies at will. Therefore, the protagonist of Altered Carbon, a well-trained soldier revived after centuries on ice, is played by two completely different actors: Will Yun Lee in the “past,” and Joel Kinnaman, who was superb in The Killing, in the future “present”). But it’s all too interested in the violence and weaponry, and too sloppy on logic and character. Also, we’ve seen these consciousness-transfer stories in both Netflix’s Black Mirror and Amazon’s Electric Dreams, and done better both times. So watch if you’re particularly interested, in either the genre or the premise, but keep expectations down.
