In a Lonely Place puts Kovacs together with the burned out marine Vernon Elliot, a partnership foreshadowed in Fallen Angel, and one that will prove interesting. We learn more about the philosophy of the Envoys and how Kovacs operates. And dive deeper into the Meths (Methuselahs) of the Aerium. Also, yet another application of sleeving emerges, kids (67 year-old kids) borrowing their meth parents' state-of-the-art cloned sleeves for hookups.

In keeping with the series so far, this episode opens with a flashback to Kovacs' childhood that showcases the series's willingness to push the envelope visually, creatively intercutting a traumatic experience he and his sister endure with hand-drawn, anime-style animation. Every episode ends with a short graphic of depicting some aspect of the following episode. There's just a lot to look at here. And because nothing about this show is repetitive, the big fight sequence this time is zero-gravity, complete with zero-g blood splattering. Have I mentioned the violence yet? No? Let's just say I look away a lot.

Oh, and I totally want a set of the glasses they drink from at parties in the Aerium.

Does anyone know what his type shirt is called, the collared white shirt? Been dying to get a shirt like that..

After a slightly slow start to the season, the pace and depth have started to pick up. Storyline might get interesting if it continues at this new pace.

Laurens Bancroft invites Kovacs to participate in a dinner party at his home since all the suspects of his murder will be there. Kristin Ortega is also invited by the millionaire. Kovacs hires Vernon to watch his back at Bancroft´s house, promising that Poe will heal Lizzie. During the party, they learn how the futile upper class is entertained.

"In a Lonely Place" is an episode where nothing happens, a sort of filler disclosing the entertainment of the upper class in this dystopic futuristic society. This is the type of absolutely forgettable episode. My vote is six.
