I am not really sure what I think about it but I was wondering if any of you had watched it. it feels like a mix betwen ghost in the shell and blade runner with a couple weired extra things added. if you have seen it, let me know what you thought.

MemberChestbursterFeb-08-2018 3:14 AMI did enjoy it after a few episode (2-3), but it was nothing spectacular. There were way to many throwbacks to the original Blade Runner (the balcony scenes, the Hello Unicorn backpack, the soundtrack containing a cover of White Zombie's More human than human, the general cityscape...). The fighting was similar to Equilibrium(???) and the VR was Matrix.
Is it just me or does Martha Higareda look like Noomi Rapace from certain angles?

It's based on a Richard Morgan novel, but the producers have shamelessly ripped off ideas from William Gibson's Neuromancer multiple times, which I find a bit annoying. He should get his lawyers on the case.
