Featured review
The only series I have watched a minimum of three times per year since it first aired.
This is partly because there are only two seasons, but mostly because I enjoy cyberpunk, sci-fi, the little details I pick up each time I watch, stories that tackle the human condition, and the overall idea behind the plot.
This will be by no means an in-depth review, even after years of watching it and its release, but if you are into any of my previously mentioned reasons for rewatching this so many times, you will enjoy the majority of season one.
And if you're a hopeless romantic, you'll also enjoy most of season two.
You may see comments/reviews around the web of people hating Season 2 due to inconsistencies in the main character's behaviour. But after watching this series several times, I can say without a doubt that the character's personality was set up to become a hopeless romantic even from Season 1. Even one of the theme songs is hopelessly romantic. And finally, there is a time jump of 30 years between Seasons 1 and 2 - a person's character/mannerisms/moral code/etc. can change in 30 years, especially when they have been failing for 30 years.
It took me several rewatches to see it, but now that I do, I've upgraded my review from a 9 to a 10. This is perfect.
I've enjoyed this so much that I'm now reading the books, which have very different stories and timelines, and I love both equally at the moment.
