Not necessarily a reimagining, but a premise. A concept.

    Altered Carbon had trouble keeping their premise straight too. When anyone can swap their body, you can’t recognize people by sight any more. They used this to the MC’s advantage a few times, but you’d think that people in that society would be more aware of the possibility.

    Like they had the subplot with the MC’s sister(?) where he spills all his secrets to the person in his sister’s body. I’m sure he really needed someone to trust, but at least verify someone’s identity before you share life-or-death information!

      Oh definitely, there were flaws. The absolute disbelief that Mackie was Kovacs was what made S2 almost unwatchable.
