I really hope it uses music from Billy Idol’s Cyberpunk album!

Neuromancer being made by a MegaCorp is somewhat ironic

I don’t think we’re doing irony anymore. It’s all prophecy now.

Fine.

I’ll settle for it.

Still, stiiiill mad that the planned TV series for Trent Reznor’s Year Zero universe never happened.

I love sci-fi, I love dystopia, I love cyberpunk. I strongly dislike neuromancer. I don’t like Gibson’s writing style. He’s horrible with characters, dialogue, and action. I understand he built an incredible world, I just don’t like what he filled it with. All that being said, I hope the fans enjoy this iteration, but after what Apple did to Foundation, I wouldn’t be surprised to see werewolves pop up in the fucking show. Good luck, fans.

I have high hopes. Everything I’ve watched on Apple had been terrific.

Foundation, For All Mankind is an excellent alternate history, Constellation is starting out strong, Severance is one of my favorite psychological thriller, Monarch was a pretty good Godzilla show, Silo was fucking excellent Fallout esqe show, and the first season of Ted Lasso was pretty good.

I disagree. The production value of Foundation was terrific. The pacing was slow and boring, and the story was drastically changed. Neuromancer doesn’t have enough content for a show, which means Apple writers are going to be writing most of it, and that’s a scary proposition for those of us who love the original work.

I think Apple has produced some of my favorite series, but there have been stinkers. Foundation was a snoozefest and See wasted some good world-building on a meh storyline and cringe characters. I didn’t last two episodes of Shrinking.

I gave up on Foundation by the end of the second episode.
