But the additional complicating factor is that Lee’s “backup copy” version is before Kovacs ever met Quellcrist, which caused him to join her rebellion and turn on his fellow soldiers. This creates the highly illegal situation where Kovacs is “double sleeved” with one mind in two bodies, Anthony Mackie’s and Will Yun Lee’s. If you haven’t seen season 2 yet, turn back now and know that I recommend it, even if it’s not quite as engaging as the first season.įor me, the best part of the season is when Colonel Ivan Carrera (a truly great villain character in this storyline) spins up the original body of Kovacs, which is how Will Yun Lee returns in this season. That said, I think that’s right about the time the show starts to get truly interesting, and I want to move into somewhat spoilery territory here. The central mystery of what’s going on with Quell I found to be somewhat less interesting than the mystery of who killed Laurens Bancroft in season 1, mainly because by the time you figure out there even is a mystery to solve, I kind of guessed what the answer would be a few episodes before it was spelled out, and I was right.
And that’s quickly confirmed when he discovers her there…murdering a bunch of rich business cartel members while not recognizing him. Kovacs, discovering Quellcrist was still alive at the end of last season, believes she’s on the planet. Now in the present day, Quellcrist’s revolution is still ongoing with the population pushing back against the local governor, Danica Harlan (Lela Loren). Season 2 returns Kovacs back to Harlan’s World where his saga started. Many cast members (minus Kinnaman) do return for cameos in a few…creative ways, as you’ll see, but it is kind of tough seeing practically the entire cast replaced for a second season, given that much of what I liked about the first was that specific collection of characters.
Lee is one of the only holdovers, joining just two other major characters as returning, Poe (Chris Conner) and Quellcrist Falconer (Renee Elise Goldberry). In exchange, Kovacs has to solve a murder… that of Bancroft himself.Īs the video itself promises, season two of Altered Carbon is currently in production.One issue with Altered Carbon season 2 is that it’s not just the lead actor that’s been replaced, it’s practically the entire cast. His mind was imprisoned, “on ice”, for centuries until Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), an impossibly wealthy, long-lived man, offers Kovacs the chance to live again.
