As a cyberpunk sci-fi drama, with suspense, thriller, and warmth, it is estimated that it will attract sci-fi fans to watch.
As someone who has not read the original work, after watching the setting of the first episode, it is estimated that they will be patient and watch it.
Why do you say patience? DHF's technology helps you achieve rebirth, but this technology is not human, it is "bone-snatching technology".
Everything about the first season starts with Bancroft. Bancroft, as a Meth (in the film can be understood as a rich person, a demigod, etc., has a lot of wealth and can be resurrected infinitely, which is equivalent to an immortal body), because of his mysterious death, in order to investigate the cause of his death, he resurrected Kovacs and promised to After he found out the results, he was free and had a huge bounty.
When Kovacs is resurrected, he finds himself in the body of a police detective, Ryker, who happens to be Orteg's boyfriend, and thus has a female companion. During the investigation, Orteg helped himself a lot.
After the investigation continued, Kovacs' mind kept flashing the insurgent Quellcrist and his stock market. It turned out that Kovacs and his sister Eileen joined the insurgent army together and became Envoy (different translations, space warriors or messengers). Speaking of Envoy, today, it may be an existence beyond the special forces, able to perfectly control the body and consciousness.
In the film, the AI named Poe runs the Raven Hotel. Because DHF-related technology can bring people a better experience, there have been no customers for nearly a hundred years. Therefore, when Kovacs came, Poe did nothing for business. This really brings out Kovacs' use of surroundings and attention to detail as an Envoy.
The spoiler is here. The first season focuses on the investigation and introduces the story of Kovacs itself, as well as the overall background and world view, but I think it can be more detailed. After all, as a hard science fiction fan, I still don’t like technology. very obsessed.
In fact, when I watched the film, I thought of a problem - it is understandable to use DHF to transmit to another body. But in the film, the DHF is directly hit, obliterating the consciousness in it. Is the backed up consciousness still me? What is the principle of "Bone Technology"?
People with DHF can directly use the synthetic body, which is probably the dream of many people, but immortality is the goal. But what happens to people who have experienced too much? Maybe it's like this in the movie.
Fortunately, the current human society does not have such technology, otherwise the life of the first season may really become a real "life".
