But did Rei really become impossibly wealthy through so many criminal enterprises (including but not limited to owning a high-end brothel where the selective clientele is permitted and even encouraged to kill the employed sex workers) purely out of family loyalty? It’s a tough sell, to put it lightly, made even more difficult once Rei starts targeting the new people in Kovacs‘ life.Īmong those people: Bay City police officer Kristin Ortega (Martha Higareda), the person at the heart of the most shocking action scene of the series. What’s more, we learn that Reileen was the woman responsible for betraying Kovacs and his allies, the Envoys, so many centuries ago - including Quellcrist Falconer ( Renée Elise Goldsberry), the love of Kovacs‘ life.įor her part, Reileen swears that her violent actions are all fueled by her undying love for her brother. alum Dichen Lachman, is not only alive and well, but is also responsible for the gruesome crime at the heart of the series: the apparent murder of Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), which is actually a suicide, albeit one Rei helped engineer. In the sixth episode, it’s revealed that Kovacs‘ sister Reileen, played by Dollhouse and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Such is the twist toward the end of season one of Netflix’s Altered Carbon, from showrunner Laeta Kalogridis, based on the novel of the same name by Richard K. Imagine his surprise, then, when he found out in virtually the same instant that, yes, someone he loves very much is still alive - and this person is also the criminal he’s been tracking all along. When he was brought back into the world, he was tasked with finding a killer, without a single loved one from his old life still alive for company.
Takeshi Kovacs (Joel Kinnaman) was on ice for centuries.
