  1. So a soyboys and whamens show in other words – Easy pass! Netflix isn’t in the entertainment business anymore, their in the lecturing businesses. And they even seem to wonder why they cant get huge gains even when covid is here giving them an hand… strange indeed =P

  2. Ummmm, ummmmm…. something tells me they’ll take the wokeness to another level.

    Also remember one cancleed altered carbon becuase “expensive VFX” and the other just can’t create a good looking female character of ANY ethnicity.

  3. I hope it stays true to its roots, that is stabbing a soldier 5000 times in one scene to do 5 damage points

    “you’re underlevelled to watch episode 2”
    “purchase 2000 points and see the ending now”

  4. Netflix… Huhh… Ubi… HiHi
    A live action that has nothing to do with the game story.
    A live action about assassin’s but spread Gayness and Incest and all the wrong ideology as something normal and good (I’m looking at you… Dark)
    FK Netflix and FK Netflix productions.
