The show was about a low-life trying to infiltrate a corporation. I find it interesting because all other cyberpunk stories I know will only show the evil CEO hiding at the top of some giant building. It’s rare to find a story that shows the life of the average worker drone. Obviously, it was cancelled after one season.

        Great recommendation, thank you, I’ve watched it. I really got into it, well done story telling.

        Wish they had more then one season.

        The writers did a great job making the corporation / government divide seem believable. The government’s still exist, but are underpowered and highly corrupt, the corporations basically have a free hand. Kinda like modern day developing nation against the petroleum companies, but at a global scale.

        The Gattica take was interesting, I liked the deep baseball power politics. The love angle I think didn’t work in the second half of the season, it felt liked a forced motivator once we got the whole backstory.

      I recall thinking it was just ok, with some very cool visuals (like what you see in the picture OP posted, with a fake pretty scene hiding the slums behind it).
