Started on AMC+ and now it looks like it's on Prime. I haven't watched it yet but it seems promising and the fight scene I saw looks pretty over the top and epic.

Probably one of the best sci-fi shows created in the last few decades. It’s smart, deep, and engaging. You might need to get through a few first episodes if high school drama is not your jam, but after that you will be hooked.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:

Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.
