I was so excited for Elysium because I thought it would be the spiritual sequel.

Yeah and I feel its problem was on the writing and directing. The concept was there but you just didn’t care about characters. They should’ve made the first half a romance, and then the second half about vengeance/redemption.

And it was...pretty one-dimensional.

I feel like the "rich live in the sky, poor live on the wasted earth" was over the top. As opposed to S1 of Altered Carbon which was way better at addressing this trope. The meths were depraved, but you could kinda understand it

they've been alive for so long, but want to continue to "feel alive" through ever more extreme experiences.

Altered carbon had excellent source material to work from. As much as I liked the series, the book soars in comparison.
