I am so annoyed that they changed up nearly all the actors for season 2. Season 2 actors just didn't have the right chemistry. Gone is the stoicism and mystery portrayed so well by Kinnaman. Mackie is a great actor but his portrayal of Kovacs was so different from the character we saw in season 1 that it felt disjointed. Also, the graphic violence and nudity is significantly toned down in season 2. I think this actually plays to the shows detriment because one of the ideas that season 1 was so good at driving home was how resleeving caused so much flippance and disregard for the human body and biological life. This really added to the story's premise.
