About
You may enjoy this if you like cyberpunk action with mystery, future-tech ideas, and a more serialized story, especially if Blade Runner: Black Lotus or No Guns Life appeal to you; Not for you if divisive CG visuals or slow setup are dealbreakers.
Pros: intriguing cyberpunk mystery; strong action and suspense; thoughtful future themes | Cons: divisive CG look; uneven early episodes; feels unfinished
