This is a SPOILER-FREE review of Netflix's Mute. Netflix’s Mute, which is now available to stream, fails to achieve the heights of other successful entries within the cyberpunk genre like Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and even newcomer Altered Carbon. It’s like someone went to a science fiction-themed Home Depot, picked out all the right parts but forgot the most important piece back in aisle 7...the story. Alexander Skarsgard plays Leo, an Amish gentlemen who is unable to speak due to a boating accident in his childhood.
