Not sure if this counts or is appropriate to this channel, but dayum. I want to see this:

Edit: Add "Altered Carbon" on Netflix to "Must watch".

I have been watching Altered Carbon continuously since I finished work today, holy shit this is good, I last read the books over a decade ago so it has just the right balance of memorable whilst I am unable to remember more than the broadest outlines of the plot.
-
Altered Carbon binge completed. Yep, not the same as the book but definitely worth watching albeit with gratuitous nudity in profusion.
-
Umpteenthing the Altered Carbon recommendation.
Another one that would make a fantastic game setting, too.
Oh fucking well.

Are the changes significant enough that if I already watched the series, the book's plot isn't spoiled?

@coin I didn't even know there was a book. But the first episode of Altered Carbon kicked all kinds of ass.

Yes, yes, I've already seen it all.
I am asking to see if I can read the book without already being spoiled.

It's basically cyberpunk with practical immortality. XD

I'm hoping to watch the show in the next couple days (off work + less homework). I'll be able to let you know then.

I think I just came a little.

@ortallus Go, go watch now if you haven't already. You will probably love it. It was stupidly good.

Just from briefly scanning the wikipedia article without spoiling myself it seems they changed some key things.
Let me know once you've watched it.

I don't know if it's going to be good or not but I am super excited for Stargate Origins. Stargate is one of my all-time favorite movies and SG-1 is one of my all-time favorite TV shows so this has me super stoked.

Oh man, this could be glorious. I still feel SG:U didn't get a fair shake.

@Ortallus I agree. I thought the final season of SGU was really well done.

I love that they left it off in such a way that it could be revisited, but alas, it just went too long. People moved on to bigger and better things.
But really, it was a fun show to watch. I think by that point there had been too many spinoffs back to back, and people were tired.
SG:O though does look like it could be a good deal of fun.

The Good Place season finale happened a few days ago.
Alright, why hasn’t the next season started yet?
-
@Thenomain Wait, that was the finale? Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!
GOD DAMMIT. This is why I hate watching shows that are currently airing. So. Much. Waiting.
