Netflix: Altered Carbon
Another one of my favorite book series coming to television in the hopefully-not-too-distant future, this time Richard K. Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs trilogy, which begins with Altered Carbon. It's a very, very adult science fiction noir about a former soldier turned detective in a future where you can basically body hop using technology. Obviously a lot more to it than that, but that's the nutshell. Really, really good stuff. I think Netflix is potentially a perfect home for it, after seeing what they've done with some more mature stuff like Jessica Jones.

Very cool. I really like Altered Carbon. Have not read the other two books of the trilogy.
A lot of excellent sci-fi/fantasy programming right now, hopefully this will be really well made as well.

The other two are different. A trilogy only in the sense of the same character. The second one is a straight up war style story. The third is, well, I don't know. Liked all of them though.
