GoingFullNerd Synopsis  Altered Carbon had that Blade Runner feel in the previews so I was expecting to blow through that show pretty quick because I thought I had seen it all.  I was wrong horribly wrong. Here are some non-spoiler basics about the show:  The only way you truly die is if a small chip called a \u201cstack\u201d is destroyed.   Your body can take insurmountable damage as long as the stack which contains your consciousness is unharmed.     You can then be "re-sleeved" into a new body.  This brings us to a specially trained soldier/mercenary is brought back to life to solve the murder of an aristocrat by the aristocrat himself.  The twists and turns along with integration of what we can call a futuristic society gone wild it is definitely not for children.  The nudity and sexual situations and extreme violence will have you on the edge of your seat.    This is not something to watch if you can\u2019t get invested in the multiple plotlines which all kept me on the edge of my seat.     Netflix is investing some serious money in these originals and I like it.  This is visually magnificent and the story and plot lines are well thought out.  This is a great look and an intriguing watch.  I give it a 4 out of 5 because of some of the un needed in my opinion graphic sex and nudity that really doesn\u2019t further the story.  Altered Carbon has gained a fan because I love a good murder mystery and you have to beat the player not the game.
