In the year 2029, the barriers of our world have been broken down by the net and by cybernetics, but this brings new vulnerability to humans in the form of brain-hacking. When a highly-wanted hacker known as ‘The Puppetmaster’ begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster.
What I’m watching
Last week, I finished The Penguin on Max. This show was incredible — a mixture of comics and Sopranos that I was captivated by. The show gets you close enough to the main character so you can understand his motivations and feel for him. This closeness also hits you with a gut punch whenever you’re reminded that the Penguin is a villain. I highly suggest watching this. It also makes The Batman (2022) look better by proximity.
