I have mixed impressions of this season. On one hand it gave me what I wanted as a continuation of the 1st season. Sort of resolution with Jaeger. The search for Quell. Encountering an Elder.
On the other hand there were some stupid decisions needed on the part of characters in order for the plot to work. Axley spent enough on Kovacs' sleeve to steal the design from the protectorate and add special upgrades, but not enough to make it untraceable as stolen protectorate property. In 300 years Jaeger apparently never realized that it was sending Kovacs on a mission to kill his sister that made him question his loyalties. Quell has no memory of making a bargain with an Elder, then when she does regain her memory doesn't mention it until after the Elder has been separated from her.
There are also issues with the setting itself and some established rules on how the technology works. We know Meths have backups and those backups only become vulnerable during an upload. So how is the Elder destroying all backups at the same time when they should be isolated? Further, if the Elder is accessing the upload then it should also be infecting the entire system that contains the DHF, not just deleting the targeted DHF.
