Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Continuing with the re-imagining of Ghost in the Shell, Kusanagi is given the opportunity to assemble her own team to work with Section 9, but someone is hacking the grid and causing all sorts of mayhem using mercenaries she’s worked with before. This one reminds me a bit of the first film if only because of some of the elements involved. This series is dealing a lot more with actual cyber-brain hacking and memories and how to trust what’s in your head because maybe you didn’t put it there. A lot easier to follow than the first episode and a bit more action oriented but still pretty deep. Ghost in the Shell is still one of the best at doing straight up cyberpunk.
