Unfortunately,Altered Carbonseason 2 took only a handful of elements from Morgan’s second novelwhen constructing its story.
Unfortunately, I think the awesome change doomed the show.
Therefore, I’m glad Chris Conner’s Poe stepped in as Kovacs' digital sidekick.

In retrospect, bringing Poe into the next installment was a big mistake.
Annoyingly,Netflix didn’t commit to the hard reset and brought Poe back.
As a result,Altered Carbonseason 2 felt undecided about what it wanted to be.
Altered Carbon is set in the far future, at a time when a human’s consciousness can be stored in a device called a Stack and transferred into different bodies, allowing people who have the means to become functionally immortal. Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman and Anthony Mackie), the former member of a rebellion against Stack technology, is awakened and released from prison so that he can be employed by a wealthy man to solve the man’s own murder. The Netflix original series is based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Richard K. Morgan.
The focus was on accuracy rather than anything else, with only alterations that would improve the adaptation.
Altered Carbon’s showrunner(s) changed between seasons.
The second run should really have been based on 2003’sBroken Angels- the second book in the trilogy.
Frustratingly,Altered Carbonseason 2 took almost nothing of value from book two.
In short, disregarding the source material eventually became the show’s biggest downfall.
The Netflix original series is based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Richard K. Morgan.
