	Author	Review
United States	David Griffin IGN	"At its best, 'Altered Carbon' is a transporting sci-fi thriller that rivals 'Blade Runner' in the depth of its universe (...) A visual titan with a less than stellar story."	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"There are eye-popping sequences (...) but the mystery runs on the grimdark fumes (...) This show tackles race, gender, and class with all the subtlety of a blowtorch."	NEU
United Kingdom	Amy West Empire	"This had the ingredients to be an effective commentary on people and technology, but throwing the murder mystery into the mix overcomplicates things (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ben Allen Radio Times	"[It] fails to hit the heights it strives for (...) It does, however, find originality in its deeply cynical depiction of society."	NEU
United Kingdom	Catherine Pearson Digital Spy	"It's got a great premise, but isn't always compelling (...) There's plenty to look at and lots of blood spilled, but the central story stalls"	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"As it progresses through its 10-episode season, 'Altered Carbon' finds its own groove"	POS
