We get to talk with the Altered Carbon cast about the weird and wacky things they would do if they had new sleeves and immortality. Subscribe to GR+ here: goo.gl/cnjsn1
I know this is late but I just finished watching the series and I have to agree. Even though she did need to die, I did miss Reileen in the second season and I felt a greater connection between Takeshi and Rei vs him and Quell. Second season had me completely lost at times too. Like the guy said above it was sort of unecessary.
@@nickdegreef3711 Eh, Mackie is pretty good even though it was slightly disappointing that he still sounded like himself when he talked, and that in the ending they used him instead of his true appearance
I was also sceptical but quite impressed about the CGI. I liked the cast a lot, liked the created athmosphere of a Film Noir, dialogues, etc. It was no mind blower however like BSG or The Expanse, but it is somehow grounded. Altered Carbon is SciFi and not at the same time. For me it is unique and I want to see more from it.
Vitali Marco Polo was canceled? O_o Wondered why I haven't heard anything since the 100 Eyes miniseries. That's really sad, since Marco Polo was an outstanding Netflix production as well. :(
Thanks Vitali for the infos. Who the heck is so dumb to compete with GoT? The only thing competable is to stay original, like GoT before. Also I do not understand how Marco Polo could go under as a beloved Netflix show. I remember, when Season 1 came out it was quite beloved. It lost a lot of momentum because of the very late Season 2. Then again it lost a lot of momentum and for not loosing it completly for season 3 Netflix gave green light for the miniseries. I think the very late releases of the seasons were the reason for cancelation... who knows, since Netflix does not publish the viewership numbers per show. I hope there will be no long release delay for Altered Carbon coming seasons. Ohterwise it will have the same fate as Marco Polo indeed. The way it is presenting it is quite original, so itr definetely has the potential for a lot of seasons.
Well, there is. That's kind of the point of Altered Carbon. The bodies are just tools fit for purpose. What you look like has been made largely irrelevant.
So you'd say you wouldn't have watched it if only Will had portrayed him? I think there's no difference. We are merely sinners, hoping to be reborn through fiction after all.
I loved it too. This show was meant to last 1 season though. Netflix have no plans yet for a second season and Joel (Kovac/Ryker) is already doing a show on Amazon so they would have to recast him... which would be a shame as I like him too much. (no homo)
Too right! I can't wait to see if they run with the next book and look at a little more of the lore/history of this particular universe. I'm actually currently working on a Master's thesis that involves looking at the intersection of posthumanism, temporal fracture, and trauma in postmodern SciFi, so I'd love to have a little more of this specific material to work with :D.
I love the use of multiple languages in the show. Also the Animé feel, like a perfect live action. Joel was so beautiful in the film and so was Will Yun Lee - he was amazing. I was a bit thrown when I saw Yun Lee as Kovacs because I Byron Mann was presented as the original sleeve and then Yun Lee was the original sleeve. So I guess Byron Mann was his sleeve while he was on the run. I just love it all.
@@when_life_gives_you_limes and that's even more apparent when Lee and Mackie are in the same scene as the same character but Mackie's acting feels nothing like Takeshi Kovacs. That was what was throwing me out all the time in season 2,Mackie just wasn't feeling like Tak.
I really enjoyed season 1 - sometimes I feel like interviews with the cast takes away from the phenomenal job the entire team does on creating the content.
Season 2 did most things well except it missed Joel Kinnaman, it for sure was not as good as first season though. Anthony Mackie although a good actor, for him to play Kovac it just didnt click. I think it was a big mistake to go this way.
For me, this was better than Blade Runner. Especially visual aspects of the show. I loved the story but at the same time didnt like some parts of it. Best sci-fi show up to this date. It used to be Westworld in my book.
Yeah Blade Runner was phenomenal but it doesn't hold a candle against Altered Carbon. That show was too advanced. Kalogridis could have made this story take place in the fantasy middle ages and it would still have worked.
Awesome interview of the concept of the generational view of the future episodes. I love the concept of resleeve of characters as well as maintaining the actual characters tied to the first season. I loved all the actors of the first season and will appreciate 3 or four seasons prior to changing them for other actors. The hint of the resemblance to a Dr. Who persona is head on target.
THEY ALL WERE SEXY~ (and for me~ to see "MAD" "MAX HEADROOM" as "CARNAGE"~ brought & knit it ALL TOGETHER!!~) THE ABSOLUTE BEST CAST AND SERIES I HAVE SEEN TO DATE!!!
why no interview with Martha Higareda who played Detective Ortega who had nearly the same amount of screen time like Joel? She is the only actor who appeared in 9 episodes instead of 8, 7 or 6. if you don't count the backstory episode.
@@OOoKarmaoOO so, what are you saying, is that we are living in AC world? That question was provocative, due to social media brain cancer. We all now why it was asked. And poor Joel, a simple nordic man, had to answer it in this manner, othervise he'd loose his job. He even recovered with that 'saving oceans' thing 😁 whatever
Personally, having read the books, I am hoping they pull a 'Dexter' Follow the first book for the first season then just do your own thing. The second book was OK, and the third book was, ehh, sure...' I would love to see them keep the focus on Earth with the Kovacks, Santiago, Riker dynamic. You could incorporate elements of the later books in the series (which they did in fairly liberal amounts in the first season anyway). Seeing how the cast would interact especially with Tokeshi re-sleeved in something approximating his original interacting with Kristin and Elias would be a world of fun for me...
All in all. You gotta give it up to the actor who played 3 characters in one episode. The thug, Ortega's abuella and Dimi. He was a great actor in my opinion.
I kept the show in my list on Netflix for a couple of months because I thought it would be retarded and it turned out to be hands down the best TV show I've ever seen. If you love technology or futurism, if you love space travel detective novels then this show has it all with a excellent storyline. My only disappointment is when I was a kid my mom's TV shows came on every day year round like Days of Our Lives or As the World Turns but in our time you're lucky if you get 8 episodes a year, it's sad but an amazing show
I'd love another season or 2 but I'm kind of wondering how they are going to do that. They made a couple of significant changes to the lore which makes the 2 sequel books incompatible. Great show though...
His sister was not the villain in the books and the Envoys worked for the UN not against. Quellcrist falconer who is an important character was not Takeshi's love interest nor was she in the envoys.
They will probably work the rest on the seasons around kovacs and Quell reuniting and maybe taking down the UN once and for all. Though the changes were big from the book, the way they changed it and warped it gives a new and interesting take . Hopefully they keep the part about each season being on a different planet. Maybe even finding a way to reunite kovacs to his original body. We will also really get to see the niddlecasting at play as kovacs gave his sleeve back to its original owner. There are lots of ways this can go, i just hope however way they choose they writr and deliver it well. I may just be a sucker for romance but I'm super excited for the potential reunion of kovacs and quell and hopefully in bodies similar to their originals.
I mean sure if you haven't read the books it's a great series. But the Envoy/Quellcrist changes is like making Sauron the good guy in the lord of the rings. The second book is all about Takeshi fighting with the UN against an insurgency and the third is all about finding out what happened to Quellcrist. And it all ties in very well. It is fairly obvious that none of that can happen in the series adaptation of the books. So yeah I'm looking forwards to new seasons but as a fan of the books I am a little dissapointed because I feel that they squandered the opportunity to make a truly great series.
I Hope that they FIND Quells DNA, (and the sister (Rieleen) SAID~"she has her HIDDEN~somewhere"~ after the "HEAD IN THE CLOUDS" GOES DOWN~~I PRAY~ they do ANOTHER SEASON!!!
For real. They give us Black human torch, black Deadshot, black Achilles, black Roland Deschain (Dark Tower), black Heimdall and many others ,but there's Never any talk about black washing. And besides this is a show about swapping fucking bodies all the fucking time. What a dumb question
Anthony mackie was...... Eh, he just seems like an angry kid, Joel however was simply a badass, chill under pressure and not fazed by the higher ups, I wish I could see him as ryker later on
Watched it all, then read the book. Both were awesome and i suggest you find some time and read the original just to take a different view on the universe, it'll b eworth it.
I think it makes sense for his manners and al that to change. I mean I think it was said that between the First and this season around 30 years have passed.
THANK you for the acknowledgement of Doctor Who. I was 1/2 a beat away from becoming angry, but, yeah, you caught yourself and now deserve kudos for the shout out.....but dude....really?.....watch a few seasons. Thanks for the good work on this show. It was genuinely enjoyable.
Exactly, if the interviewer understood the concept of the show she wouldn't have asked that question, or maybe she wanted to cram it in just because. Really unnecessary and sad.
I really like Joel and the actress who played the detective in the 1st Altered Carbon. They should have kept those 2 actors. The 2nd Altered Carbon doesn't interest me.
I love the books. I liked the show, but I really didn't like the robot arm or the stripper turned cyber intrusion ninja. Other than that, the show was awesome. Joel Kinnaman was a great choice to play as Kovacs in Ryker's body.
Why did you not interview Poe?!! He is the best character!
WanderingTaoist101 he is an AI, not a real human being
Daniel C Clearly Christopher Connor was born from a computer not a woman.
Poe is the MVP
Poe is great! I hope, he'll come back in Season 2. -YAK-YAK-YAK! If Stacks have backup, why can't AI's have also Backups?
Poe's vocals are not unlike Dr. Phlox from that Star Trek show "Enterprise".
Just watched it all.
Totally loved it.
Best sci fi in a long time.
james bryant I'm with ya. It was a ton of fun!
Hell yeah it was fun
really you liked the crazy sister plot?? felt so bad and over the top

Totally-I Watched All Episodes
Wicked AWESOME
Unique

What Do YOU Think!
It's a great show alright. But the ending is pretty bad.
The first season was so much better than season 2
Season 2 is crap
@znk znk more like unecessary
I agree, Anthony Mackie's performance is so not on par with Kinnaman's or Lee's.
Agreed. Though I love Anthony Mackie, he couldn't quite bring the character justice
I know this is late but I just finished watching the series and I have to agree. Even though she did need to die, I did miss Reileen in the second season and I felt a greater connection between Takeshi and Rei vs him and Quell. Second season had me completely lost at times too.

Same
You're going to be disappointed

@@Hafer_ although Mackie was a powerful sleeve to me joel's kovach was more badass
@@danieljacquez7521 yeah it feeled like we went from blade runner to star wars
Didn't like it at first. Sat through it all and it worth the perseverance. Best sci-fi series in a long time. Well worth watching.
Same. I just finished it today and once you finish and understand everything, you get to see how smart and brilliant the whole show actually was.

Same I cried
Becoming a big fan of Joel after watching interviews on back of the show. Seems like a cool dude. And he's into mma/ jiu jitsu!
bridge4 dude dead looks like my global teacher
alyan khan lol. Very cool
I'm curious about him after Altered Carbon. So, I was watching "The Killing". He need more series in the future
Asra Felicia I think he was robocop. But that type movie isnt my jam
Asra Felicia I'm with u tho in becoming a fan. Hope to see more of th dude!
There's no Altered Carbon without Joel, I just love him as a main character!
Well, there is. That's kind of the point of Altered Carbon. The bodies are just tools fit for purpose. What you look like has been made largely irrelevant.
So you'd say you wouldn't have watched it if only Will had portrayed him? I think there's no difference. We are merely sinners, hoping to be reborn through fiction after all.
The only good fucking thing in life ruined
@@aleksis2079 just finished watching it and I see he won't be returning for season 2 is very disappointing :(

Super Fantastic well shit☹

this was sincerly a delight to watch. i cried in the end and this show left me with an empty space after i watched it...it was REALLY good
Perjorax deadass i felt so empty like wtf my heart was so crushed
I feel the same! The emptiness when it's over... Sigh. We'll get over it in time :'c
Actually the ending is pretty bad.
Wow! Joel is so badass in the movie, but here he looks likes he makes my coffee! JK
Watching joel being such a nice guy is wierd after only knowing rick flag and takeshi kovach

This is must watch, the layers to the storytelling is addictive.
Such a shame they screwed up season 2. It doesn't have 10% of the quality that season 1 had.
Utterly disappointing.
I liked season 2 a bit more because to me Anthony Mackie was more entertaining. To each their own
@@nataliegiles2554 same
@@nataliegiles2554 interesting. I couldn't stand him. This whole story was such an interesting idea though. Love it.

Best show I've watched in a longtime
They all felt like the same man. Amazing.
Then season 2 happened 🙁
In my top 5 shows of all time please continue this series!
Keano Bambino there are 2 more books so hopefully 2 more seasons at the least
HELL YEAH!!!~(ARE U A BELIEVER??) FREAKING EXCELLENT STUFF
I really enjoyed season 1 - sometimes I feel like interviews with the cast takes away from the phenomenal job the entire team does on creating the content.
In real life, they appear to be completely different from their characters on the show. This, to me, is proof of how amazing these actors are.
It's a testament to their acting that they couldn't be more different from their respective characters
TH-cam: lets reccommend this after 2 years and after Netflix completely butchered the 2nd season
Season 2 did most things well except it missed Joel Kinnaman, it for sure was not as good as first season though. Anthony Mackie although a good actor, for him to play Kovac it just didnt click. I think it was a big mistake to go this way.
This theme; to love some one disregarding his or hers actual appearance, really makes this show into something extra for me

Gokon she's gorgeous!
Loved this show, little disappointed about the cast change for Season2 though. Hopefully its still just as good.
I wish this series was available on DVD. It's so brilliant.

Never seen him shine quite like this before.
He is so cute, im falling in love with his character in drama and in reality.
u must be young (thats CUTE as hell)
Best show ever, a must watch. I love Kovac, not the same without him. The guy who plays him I mean. xx
Kovacs just has a sexy body. That’s it. I’m done.

At first I wasn't sure he was the right guy for that character but it turns out he is just the right guy.
Especially now with comparison to mackie
Going for the second run now...In love with this show.
Just watched season 1 episodes 1 to 5 ytd night. Awesomeness. Gonna continue.
AC & The Expanse - the best syfy
After Kovachs, Poe was my favorite character in the series and much better than the original material (supposed to be based on Jimmy Hendrix).

love the interviews, great questions. Love this show. SEASON 2!!! Im excited! Great job on the itnerviews!!
I love this show so much

All in all. You gotta give it up to the actor who played 3 characters in one episode. The thug, Ortega's abuella and Dimi. He was a great actor in my opinion.

Waiting for season two Impatiently
Pleasantly surprised by this, thankyou Netflix... Best thing I’ve seen on the platform since Daredevil Season 2.
Please don't end this show!PLEASE!
PLZ DON'T (I AGREE!!)
I feel disappointed thinking Joel will not be part of 2nd season. He rocked the series
Awesome sci-fi watch. I recommend 💪🏻
I'd love another season or 2 but I'm kind of wondering how they are going to do that. They made a couple of significant changes to the lore which makes the 2 sequel books incompatible.
Great show though...
What changes?
His sister was not the villain in the books and the Envoys worked for the UN not against. Quellcrist falconer who is an important character was not Takeshi's love interest nor was she in the envoys.
They will probably work the rest on the seasons around kovacs and Quell reuniting and maybe taking down the UN once and for all.

IT IS BRILLIANT!
Season 1 is amazing! Season 2..hmm
Ha, apparently in same boat as many, I was very hesitant form the first one or two episodes, but it definitively got better.
It sucks that they replaced him with a sub par actor in season 2.

Thank you for sharing this. 🌟💖
The women crazy in him, Bra jobbat Joel! haha

He looks so skinny in this interview. He was jacked as fuck in this show.
Anthony mackie was...... Eh, he just seems like an angry kid, Joel however was simply a badass, chill under pressure and not fazed by the higher ups, I wish I could see him as ryker later on
THE BEST EVER!!!~ SCI-FI SERIES~EVER!!!~(I can no longer get interested in ANYTHING ELSE!!) IT'S THAT GOOD!!! ~its a GOTTA-SEE!!
I got problem hearing Kovacs lines, felt as if he was mumbling. The series is very dense and I need to use TH-cam to understand what had happened.
Watched it all, then read the book. Both were awesome and i suggest you find some time and read the original just to take a different view on the universe, it'll b eworth it.
As long as they keep Dichen and Joel in some capacity.
2nd season destroyed this show.
Understand being a different sleeve yet same person, but mannerisms, attitude, everything was different.
I agree
I think it makes sense for his manners and al that to change. I mean I think it was said that between the First and this season around 30 years have passed.
Richard K Morgan is a genius
By the way, does that hindi behind him, that holographic board, make any sense?
THANK you for the acknowledgement of Doctor Who. I was 1/2 a beat away from becoming angry, but, yeah, you caught yourself and now deserve kudos for the shout out.....but dude....really?.....watch a few seasons. Thanks for the good work on this show. It was genuinely enjoyable.
Joel is the one & only Takeshi Kovacs for me
Where are the cards telling the viewer who the people being interviewed are?
Oh boy! Rick Flag and Angelica!!!
White washing? Was that really a necessary question?
Uh, yes. "Journalism". One day you might find out what that means.
They actually do black washing in season 2. Will they ask the same question ?
Exactly, if the interviewer understood the concept of the show she wouldn't have asked that question, or maybe she wanted to cram it in just because.
Really unnecessary and sad.
I think if humanity lasts long enough this is inevitable in some form whether stacks or bonding with AI
I really like Joel and the actress who played the detective in the 1st Altered Carbon. They should have kept those 2 actors. The 2nd Altered Carbon doesn't interest me.
More Joel Kinnaman too
I love the books. I liked the show, but I really didn't like the robot arm or the stripper turned cyber intrusion ninja. Other than that, the show was awesome. Joel Kinnaman was a great choice to play as Kovacs in Ryker's body.
