There is no movie titled "Altered Carbon"; however, it is a popular Netflix series based on Richard K. Morgan's 2002 novel of the same name. The series premiered in 2018 and explores a future where consciousness can be transferred to different bodies, raising questions about identity, morality, and society. While there have been discussions about expanding the universe, such as potential film adaptations, as of now, the story primarily exists in the series format.

"Altered Carbon" was canceled by Netflix after its second season due to a combination of factors, including declining viewership, high production costs, and challenges in maintaining the show's complex narrative and world-building. While the series received critical acclaim for its visuals and concepts, it struggled to attract a broad audience needed to justify its expense. Additionally, Netflix tends to prioritize shows with strong viewer engagement and potential for longevity, which ultimately led to the decision to cancel "Altered Carbon."

"Altered Carbon" is worth watching if you enjoy sci-fi with thought-provoking themes about identity, technology, and morality. Set in a future where consciousness can be transferred between bodies, it explores complex ideas about life and death. The series features a visually stunning aesthetic, strong performances (notably by Joel Kinnaman in Season 1), and intricate world-building. However, some viewers find the pacing uneven, and the narrative can be dense. If you appreciate cyberpunk and philosophical questions, it's a compelling watch.
