Cyberpunk: EdgeRunners II Review: Substance, Meet Style

Welcome Back, Choom After a legendary first season, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is back on the block at Netflix, serving its particular brand of dystopia. Season two feels the same, and somehow, different. ‘Cyberpsychosis’ takes center stage, but with an entirely different lens.

We followed David Martinez as he witnessed the psychosis as a child, only to fall victim to it as a young adult. Viewers were dazzled by the slick, but ultimately sad, vision of David mastering his Sandevistan augmentation.  The Nomad netrunner and pro emo league MVP, ‘D’ (Koki Uchiyama) in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2.
