Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Kovacs contends with ghosts from his past as he’s tortured by Carrera. Poe seeks help from a fellow AI. Trepp gets a lead on the man she’s after.

Our Take

This one leans hard on torture scenes and flashback fragments, and the mix gets repetitive. Anthony Mackie does solid work in the confession scenes, and Poe’s storyline with the other AI is a nice change of pace, but Trepp’s subplot mostly marks time. Watchable, but it feels like the season stalling where it should be building momentum.
