Criminal bodies are cheap/free. Cloned/home made bodies are much more expensive so only the very wealthy (the Meths) can afford them.Maroon Stormtrooper said:
Are the bodies folk sleeve in to grown, or are they criminals that have been sentenced to death?

I'm four episodes in and I'll probably stay with it. The one thing that may eventually have me quit is Ortega's character. Her over the top cussing and hair trigger rage is just too much sometimes. On top of that, her Spanish is terrible.
I think a lot of the time they do this either in season 1 of a show or when the show is dying. Back when I was watching Narcos Season 1, it seemed like every episode was crammed with pretty hardcore sex scenes (for Netflix at least)...my wife was convinced I was watching porn as shed walk through the living room when I was binging season 1 and almost regularly there would be sex and nudity and moaning in the background. Once it became apparent that the show was a hit, they scaled it back quite a bit for season 2 and 3.Scruffy said:
I don't mind it. We watch and joke "it's not porn, it's netflix".
I'm far from a prude and don't mind seeing naked bodies. Nakedness doesn't bother me.
I just think they seem to be cramming nudity into shows just for the purpose of showing boobs and butts that doesn't particularly further the story. Maybe they want to be "edgy"?
I can see people being turned off the show because of all the nudity.

Man the Texags reviews for this show are all over the map! Usually this place is pretty dependable, but I'm still not sure if I should watch or not.
This is helpful, thanks! Is it like a futuristic "crime of the week" type show?Champ Bailey said:Counterpoint said:

I really liked it. I've always said that people are harder on sci-fi for some reason. Like nobody cares that they are jumping cars through buildings in FF, or that most action movies are essentially the same storyline every time, yet you have a couple inconsistencies in a sci-fi universe or it reuses existing sci-fi tropes and people declare it a failure. I'm not singling TCTTS out by any means, as he is entitled to his opinion, but his review is a pretty good example.
This is a pretty good Agatha Christie style mystery blended into a cop show set in the future. The dialogue does get cheesy at times, and I wasn't particularly fond of the sister as an actress, but I think it's one of the better first seasons of a Netflix show. I loved Edgar Allen Poe. I give it a B+. I'm excited to see where it goes. It did feel like they set up the potential for a couple extra seasons with his origin story.
Again, the cop is super hot.

I will agree there is some suspect acting that left some to be desired in my opinion, but it didn't keep me from thoroughly enjoying it.

I lasted maybe 30 minutes before I turned the pilot off and this basic conceit is one of the reasons why. The timeline 250 years ago was already super advanced in terms of technology. And then it felt like the world 250 years later wasn't really all that more advanced. Not to sound like Comic Book Guy or Neil deGrasse Tyson, but it really bugs when shows/movies like this don't take into consideration the exponential advancement of technology/humanity in general. The world 200 years from now is going to be unrecognizable to us, and the world 200 years after that is going to be unrecognizable to people 200 from now. Technology/humanity is going to advance at such an increasingly rapid rate. And I get that there's no show at all if there aren't familiar human characters we can understand and relate to, but the whole conceit is just kind of dumb to me anyway. The thing about a seven year old girl getting the body of the old woman because "that's all there was" was stupid. I get how that can come across as a clever/horrifying conceit or whatever, but the economics/practicality of it just didn't make sense. Not to mention, most of the production design felt like a rip off of things we've seen a thousand times before, and I wasn't into the main character at all. So sick of the hardened/disgruntled tough guy making quip upon quip while navigating a future world. Let's see a different type of future character for once.
