Altered Carbon

Altered Carbon made a huge debut this year and had people asking for a second season days after the first one's release. It takes place in the future, where the rich can practically live forever by transferring their “souls” to other bodies, once the old one ages. However, the not-so-rich people are bound to mortality. These new rules of existence are fascinating, and so is the emotional fallout of the presence of eternal life. As with so many of the vampires we see in movies and on TV, not having an axe hanging over your head can lead to all kinds of cruelty, decadence, and dispassion. As our own life spans elongate here in the early 21st century, the show's thought experiment about the end of death in the future is particularly intriguing. What you might find likeable about the show, is that there is no clear “villain”- the protagonist is more of an anti-hero rather than the traditional one and the side characters are all interesting with each of them having their own flaws. It's one of those shows where the first episode doesn't fully grab your attention but for some reason you keep watching until you've finished the entire thing. Granted, the first few episodes are not the most attention grabbing or interesting, it's all part of the world building process and as is the case with most dystopian worlds, takes time to grow and evolve. At the moment, the show has only 1 season with a total of 10 episodes.
