“I’ve only just started on season 2 so this review is less than comprehensive, but from what I’ve heard so far this series cooks up a wonderfully evocative and incredibly bleak world of Hyperion City, Mars. The hotel lobby concierge intro draws me in every time and the story that’s woven leaves me wanting to know more about the characters.
Juno Steel’s a compelling protagonist to follow as he takes on the twists and turns of each case, as we get more and more glimpses into what’s made him the person we find him as in season 1 and what he’s going to do about it. He’s also incredibly Gender, as are many others. For all the cynicism, brooding and quick thinking in one crisis to the next you get some wonderfully less-than-smooth moments with Mista Steel. Goes without saying Rita’s an absolute delight too and I look forward to hearing more of Rex’s antics. So so very hyped for when Buddy and Vespa show up, heard so much stuff about them on the grapevine that makes me sure they’ll end up firm favourites.”
