The show was about a low-life trying to infiltrate a corporation. I find it interesting because all other cyberpunk stories I know will only show the evil CEO hiding at the top of some giant building. It’s rare to find a story that shows the life of the average worker drone. Obviously, it was cancelled after one season.
Thanks for pointing it out! I’ll give it a watch. Is it any good?
I enjoyed it. They did a good job setting up the world. Just expect some plot threads to not be resolved since it was cancelled before they could wrap anything up.
Great recommendation, thank you, I’ve watched it. I really got into it, well done story telling.
Wish they had more then one season.
The writers did a great job making the corporation / government divide seem believable. The government’s still exist, but are underpowered and highly corrupt, the corporations basically have a free hand. Kinda like modern day developing nation against the petroleum companies, but at a global scale.
The Gattica take was interesting, I liked the deep baseball power politics. The love angle I think didn’t work in the second half of the season, it felt liked a forced motivator once we got the whole backstory.
I recall thinking it was just ok, with some very cool visuals (like what you see in the picture OP posted, with a fake pretty scene hiding the slums behind it).
