Custom Altered Carbon image of Joel Kinnaman and Anthony Mackie as Takeshi Kovacs and Chris Conner as Poe
Altered Carbon season 3 is one of the painful Netflix cancelations I won't ever get over, but I still think that one change made to the source material was responsible for the show's eventual cancelation. Based on Richard K. Morgan's book trilogy, Netflix's adaptation began very faithful to the author's work. Unfortunately, Altered Carbon season 2 took only a handful of elements from Morgan's second novel when constructing its story.
Morgan's book trilogy is built on the premise of its protagonist starting from scratch in terms of allies at the start of each adventure. As a result, Altered Carbon season 2 felt undecided about what it wanted to be. Swapping Kinnaman out for Mackie showed respect for the source material, but Poe's return hinted at a desire to serialize Kovac's arc rather than limiting it to the semi-anthological approach that Morgan intended.
The second run should really have been based on 2003's Broken Angels - the second book in the trilogy. Frustratingly, Altered Carbon season 2 took almost nothing of value from book two. Instead, an almost brand-new narrative was constructed that not only unnecessarily accommodated Poe's presence but also made Netflix feel more comfortable about adding to their version of the story. In short, disregarding the source material eventually became the show's biggest downfall.
