I don't hate him, but gives me flashbacks of Altered Carbon S02. The season was ass in general, but his Kovacs was a big part. Probably not hot fault, he did what was asked to do.

It's interesting you bring that up, because it's the example that really put this on the radar for me. He gave a generic action guy kinda performance and people reacted like he was the worst actor of his generation and had single-handedly killed the show.

The season was a massive letdown vs the first one, and he was much worse lead than the original. Maybe he's excessively blamed for the overall result

S1 of that show was ass as well.

In general or from somebody who read the books? I did like it, but those who read it before didn't seem to.

I read the book after so maybe i'm biased, but I really loved s1, it was very visually and aesthetically pleasing and the universe felt great.

Even after reading the book, I still rewatched s1 and feel the same way about it, felt like not quite the same story but still the same universe

Aside from some minor dissapointment that they clearly chose to disregard the novels plot in s1 so s2 would have to be completely different from the book

I would've loved to see Suzie's SlipIns

But thats usually the way these book adaptations go

I am not speaking for any larger group.

I have never read the book.
