#nobechdeltest but the fact that the female lead of altered carbon s1 literally does not appear in the 4min official recap of that season except as an offscreen voice in the final 15s to ask the male protag what he'll do about his long-lost love...says a lot about that show lol

she almost definitely has the second most screentime of any character and the fact that they "recapped" the entire season without her uh. hmm? could this perhaps indicate? she was a shallowly written character?

also the only named women to appear on screen in the recap are 1. the obsessive, controlling older sister 2. the sex worker trapped in a digital memoryscape to relive her murder repeatedly

also says. pretty much the same thing. about how this show writes women.

oh im sorry, forgot a named woman! there's also the protag's long-lost love who is theoretically a revolutionary leader but only ever appears in flashbacks to inspire him then die (probably) (he needs a mystery to angst about.)

i also cant count the ways that the s2 opening is hilarious and bad but i gotta say, "this organic body we grew for you can force-pull guns into its hands" is like. i almost respect the audacity of passing this off as reasonable.
