I’m normally pretty easy on entertainement, but a few things that annoyed me:

the Quellchrist/Elder thing: it is explained that she can no longer control the Elder, with the angelfire and the coma before the setup of the construct. But after the separation she is angry because they had a deal? It didn’t seem like her body could cope with the Elder?

How did the suicide by angelfire work? Surely targeting the Elder is not the default for it?

[It’s cancelled now, though.](https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/26/21403209/netflix-altered-carbon-canceled-two-seasons-streaming)

Honestly, season 2 was a huge drop in quality. I think this is putting it out of its misery.

Well, dang. I thought the show had at least one more season in it, if not several, with one actor after another putting their spin on Kovacs.
