Golshifteh Farahani, Michael B. Jordan, Kôichi Yamadera, Asia Kate Dillon, and Maisie Williams in Gen: Lock (2018)

In this new season, a war leaves behind only a handful of highly skilled soldiers fighting for the future of humanity as a deteriorating Earth, due to an unstoppable climate collapse, has two distinct visions for the future of the human race: The Polity and the Union. The Polity and the Union remained locked in a brutal and unforgiving war, when, after sustaining devastating injuries, pilot Julian Chase (Jordan) returns from the dead in the form of a Holon warrior, one of a select few whose mind is compatible with the mech-suit GEN:LOCK program. As Dr. Weller (Tennant) works to crack the gen:LOCK code, it's up to Chase, Miranda (Fanning), Cammie (Williams), and their team of intrepid Polity fighters to fend off the authoritarian Union. But as the war rages on, Chase must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything - including friends, family, and his own humanity - to save an increasingly hostile world.

Trivia
In video production, a "genlock" is a device used to synchronize two sets of video signals. The availability of cheap consumer-grade genlock hardware (in the form of the Amiga computer) is what first made fan subtitling of anime possible. The genlock allowed fansubbers to overlay the subtitle video signal on top of the source video signal, then record the subtitled video to a videocassette.

A series I'd recommend

Despite my grumbling about this series having enemies which are fighting the protagonists for unknown reasons, I would say that this series is well-done. Apart from the one genderfluid character, all the others are compelling and their lines are strong, as is the story, generally. So, I'd recommend it, although I hope for improvements in the quality in the upcoming season. I would say that this is stronger than some of the other animated series, which is why the current rating is justified.
