Apart from watching over a dozen of seasonals, I finished a rewatch of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. And the show keeps its 9/10 I gave it when I first watched it. It was great. Especially episode 6 – it was an absolute masterpiece with fantastic direction. I think the show might have benefited from one more episode exploring

spoiler for the whole series

Lucy's character, instead of giving us an exposition dump with her backstory told as a memory. And IMO the chase scene in ep 10 was a little overdone.

This probably sounds like nitpicking, but these might have been the only reasons I didn't give it 10/10. But still, overall, it's a must watch anyway – great story, direction, visuals, everything.

Some people say that the subs suck, but that's about the original Netflix subs from the day the show aired. Fansubs are good. They're not filled with slang as much as the dub, but they're still enjoyable. I enjoyed both versions.

From what I've read, Bartosz Sztybor, the scriptwriter for S2, said that the new season will be even darker and more violent. I can't wait to see it. I hope they won't mess it up.
