Murderbot (AppleTV+)

[Foxbat]

The Skarsgård family has produced quite a few actors, with Alexander starring in the titular role of this new Sci-Fi show on AppleTV+ based on the "Murderbot Diaries" book series written by Martha Wells.

​

The first two episodes of "Murderbot" were released last Friday, and new episodes will be available to stream each Friday after that. I'm going to need to see a few more episodes before I can give it a thumbs up. It's more Douglas Adams than Issac Asimov; it reminds me of "Avenue 5" in some ways.

Haven't read the books but plan to watch eventually. Headlines of early reviews haven't been good but I will make my own judgement.

Renewed for a season 2. Have to try it out sooner or later.

I enjoyed episodes 1-9. The season finale was just, "meh". I mean I understand what was going on, but it just felt unsatisfying. I'm happy Murderbot got his chance to live amongst the stars.…
