The show gets dragged down by it's long run (16 episodes) and longwinded plot. What starts off as a promising look into a possible future quickly runs into a series of tropes we have seen many times before, followed by a long stretch of handoffs and scenes that in American shows would have been cut.
I enjoyed seeing Russion Doctor House but a lot of the things that happened weren't all that memorable. It makes the show more realistic as you witness the more mundane aspects of their lives. It also helps that there are a lot of pretty Russian people in this show but don't expect anything edgy like Altered Carbon.

If you enjoy Blade Runner and the gritty side of our future watch Altered Carbon. If you enjoy IRobot and Will Smith's antics but played by Ruski House watch this. If you're like me and enjoy both: watch both.

The second season could be helped with a plot that moves a bit more and has a bit more variation in it's themes. This sometimes felt like watching soccer... follow the ball go from one to the other nearing the goal... being taken by the opposition, toward the other, nearing the goal... taken again followed by a fully clothed blonde streaker or a fistfight and back to the ball... being kicked back and forth
