The general premise is that human consciousnesses are stored on these little disk things and bodies can easily be swapped and you don't really die unless the disk is damaged. Some guy that is a trained fighter in a war a few hundred years ago is brought back to solve a murder case.
It has a kind of black mirror feel in that it explores how this kind of technology can become problematic in a lot of ways.
I liked Altered Carbon, lots of good visuals and a decent narrative, though I think it maybe could have been better had they stuck to the source material a hair closer.
On the whole, I'd give it a 7/10, would watch after I finished the rest of my queue.
