![]() ![]() Simone Missick in “Altered Carbon” Diyah Pera/Netflix The series’ ideas are big, playful, and (like so much great sci-fi) topically applicable when following a consistent allegory, but all that potential remained trapped behind a stoic visage. While the first season had other problems, including a crude obsession with human bodies that never developed beyond voyeurism, Kinnaman’s rigid, no-fun lead skewed the self-serious drama toward a profound bore instead of a galaxy-brained lark. (“Sleeve” is what they call bodies in the “Altered Carbon”-verse.) The new lead doesn’t exactly reinvent “Altered Carbon,” but his uncontainable charisma - along with a tighter episode count and well-designed action pieces - open up Season 2, allowing audiences to take it only as seriously as they want. Or so I thought, until Anthony Mackie slipped into Kovacs’ sleeve. ph: Myles Aronotwitz/©Warner Bros.Where to Watch This Week’s New Movies, from ‘The Starling Girl’ to ‘BlackBerry’ #12,, ©NETFLIX RUN ALL NIGHT, l-r: Liam Neeson, Joel Kinnaman, 2015. #12,, ©NETFLIX House of Cards, Joel Kinnaman, 'Chapter 51', Season 4, Ep.
