Show Notes
Netflix's cyberpunk far-future series was an overall success, with a few sticking points holding it back from greatness. Luke & James read the source material by Richard K. Morgan and bring that perspective into their view of the show in this episode. They kick things off with a SPOILER-FREE section filled with their general thoughts on the quality of the season, give some background on the production, and then discuss how it compares broadly to the novel. NON-SPOILER TALK ENDS: 13:20
In the spoiler section, they break down each character's story arc in the show and compare and contrast them with their book counterparts. They each extoll parts they loved, like Poe and the Bancrofts, but also point out all the parts that didn't land, like a particular fight scene. The finish with a final pronouncement, should you watch the show, read the book, or do both?
