I read Sheepfarmer's Daughter in high school and it stuck with me for YEARS. When I finally reread it as an adult I was very pleased with how well it held up. I actually kinda prefer it to the sequels because I love the groundedness of just being a mercenary grunt.

Does this mean I almost die every session? Yes. Will that convince me to get cyber modifications? No. All my robot friends keep getting hacked n shit and I'd like to avoid that.

"the entire second season is grounded by internal drama within a polycule of French theater queers in post war Paris being explained to a terminally catty Anthony Bourdain clone" sounds good here's millions of dollars get at it

So we wind up with an American show having Canadian actors clearly speaking English, but are dubbed into Russian, which is then subbed back into English for the American audience. Very funny shit.
