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.
I loved the first series so much. With the exception of a bit of weakness transitioning to the second half, it was incredible, beautiful, poignant, smart, almost perfect. Then they made more, and it was clearly written by someone who understood nothing of the first series and approached a character driven exploration of philosophical questions of identity, ontology, and social responsibility with the intelligence and subtlety of Wile E Coyote vs Roadrunner produced by the Hallmark Channel.
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.
