For what it's worth, I just watched the first episode and I thoroughly enjoyed the world. I'm not sure which direction the plot will go, but I'm interested enough to keep going. It doesn't exactly have "adult themes" but it isn't a children's show either. The TV-14 rating seems about accurate for their target audience. I'm into it.

What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Why is Netflix so bad about making trailers for their original shows? This tells me nothing about the world or story, it's just a scene from the show without any context that would inform a viewer about what they're looking at. All this trailer conveys is that some people ride motorcycles, and I guess some other people don't like that.
I'm sure it's a fine series, but damn is Netflix not doing it any favors with this trailer.
Agreed. Netflix does a lot of dumb shit for inexplicable reasons. There's a similar issue with basic descriptions. They used to be known for their quirky content descriptions, but now, so many content descriptions are just a list of credits or acclaim quotes. How are you supposed to know of you're interested or not with zero information regarding what it is about?
Extracted trailer from Netflix: https://gofile.io/d/Tg6RTv (can watch directly).
Also, they give 13+ age rating here.
It gives me the similar vibe of Netflix animation series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers just instead of being US focused its Japan focused.
