Horray, the rich will live forever! All hail our immortal overlords!
Don’t worry we'll live forever too since now we won't have to retire
Yeah, check out Altered Carbon (the first book or the first season) for how this would likely play out.
Enshittification - not just for social media anymore...
I like how you only mentioned the first season, I didn't watch season 2 at all..
Anthony Mackie did great with what he had to work with. But the writing sucked.
Avoid, though I respect Anthony Mackie for trying with that "script". Be happy with S1 and look no further
I guess this is the future that will come sooner or later...

I don’t really understand this viewpoint but treatments for aging won’t make you immortal which is almost certainly impossible. You’ll still die, you’ll just be healthier for a longer period, possibly a much longer period.
I came to the thread to post that, but here it is on the top ✊
