Season 1 was a story masterfully written, directed and acted. Season 2 is nearly laughably bad in comparison. The one thing that demonstrates how poorly this season was done is that Kovacs doesn't even seem to be the same "character". In a world where bodies are exchangeable but minds can live on eternal, Kovac doesn't have the same edgy, deep, whitty, badass character as in season 1. Season 2 Kovac is a boring angry soldier.
