Excited to see RESTORE POINT. Todd Brown and XYZ are like the secret A24. The imprimatur of their involvement - as creative producers or distribution partners - is always a green light to watch to me.
Sonny, I'm surprised you didn't mention Altered Carbon, especially the original version with Joel Kinnaman. Like the majority of sci-fi, it is also derivative, but raises essentially the same questions and is strikingly similar in the contrivances it employs. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
I enjoyed the aesthetics of season one so much but was deeply wounded by season two..... I still clearly remember the day season two came out, I started the first episode, and my friend walked in and saw the show. With great excitement I started to recommend the show to her so she decided to stay and watch it for a bit. And that's when the protagonist, a seasoned, extremely well-trained badass rebel fighter, turned away from a hostile character and was then shot. The protagonist was astonished, and croaked "You shot me in the back...." with an absolutely stunned expression, which mirrors the one on my own face. I then had to explain to my friend that season one really wasn't like this....
