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

    Altered carbon, the whole resleeving of a person into another body. Made it seem like they could have done loads of stories in that universe with different actors.
    Shame they only made one series.

      This concept and many other interesting sci-fi ideas are touched on in Ghost in the Shell stand alone complex which I’m watching right now. It’s pretty good! A little quirky at times, and doesn’t have the same level of emotional investment as some other animes I’ve watched, but I’m definitely enjoying it quite a bit

      Have you ever watched Dollhouse? Slightly similar theme and (unlike Firefly) it had two seasons that as best I can tell were aired in the proper order.

        Dollhouse is weird though. I enjoyed it a lot but i don’t think it’s for everyone.

        Plus the ending is not well done. They got cancelled and tried to pull together an impactful ending over a few episodes, when the original plan was to take a few seasons. I respect the urge to offer a real ending, but unsurprisingly it feels cheap and sudden.

      The books follow a similar quality arc. The first one is great but each subsequent one gets less great. He could’ve done so much more.
