Netflix releases trailer for new cyberpunk sci-fi series ‘Altered Carbon’

Based on the 2002 novel by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon is as Engadget puts it Netflix’s spin on Blade Runner. And now we get to see what the show looks like ahead of its February 2 premiere. The science fiction series set over 300 years in the future promises a story about murder, love, sex, and betrayal. A rich man, played by James Purefoy, looks to have his own murder solved and so he resurrects hires Takeshi Kovacs (played by Joel Kinnaman), a soldier who was killed in action 250 years ago. And from what the trailer shows us, it looks like a massive production.
