Book fans will know the tone is sarcastic, with genuine deep feelings & a note of existential crisis. This is insipid with superficial emoting, and cheep production value.

They went for light funny, I guess.

It never occurred to me that there could be such divergent take aways from one reader to another. It is almost like whoever wrote the script didn't read the books or listen to them, but just transferred the plot points with key phrases into a book. Turning the characters into caricatures of hippies wearing their psychosis on their sleeves.

As for the production value, looks like all the money went into Alexander, but left him barefoot in a sheet.

I was interested in this bc of Alex Skarsgard. Nothing makes sense here. Attempt @ dry humor fails & script is ChatGPT 4th grade level. No sense of plot, suspense, senseless flashbacks, no score, sound effects, & cast has 0 chemistry. Sci fi creatures are sad copies of prior films. Poor cheap sets & CGI for sci fi series- so there's literally NOTHING for viewer. Soap operas have more drama. It's so dull I'm writing this review during 2nd ep bc there's so much narration & 0 to view.

Others state the book is better. "I robot" film is far better than this silly waste of time.

I won't watch more of this def SKIP IT manure.

Couldn't even finish the 24min pilot - terrible.

It's literally like being in an apple meeting room full of diverse leftists.

Apple even insult every single blue collar worker in the opening marking their despise of Trump's America.

This company is so transparent. Above all utterly boring - I challenge anyone to get through the first episode. All these top scores have to be lies.

This has a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. There must be a lot of 9-y-o boys voting on RT.

Space, distant planet, mining, that's all you need to know. A lot of invented fake technical terms you'll need to become familiar with to get then full 9-y-o boy effect. With the voiceover, it might be better on the radio. Or even as a comic. Yes, that's it. Murderbot is a comic rendered to video. Unforunately nobody can draw any more. Jack Kirby and Neal Adams closed the book on the golden age of comics a good 50 years back; now we have the slop age of Apple. Have you noticed how dated the Apple logo is looking these days? Much like their products: all the rage for about 18 months, then totally last season. So watch the Murderbot ratings - when the 9-year-olds get interested in things other than comics (when they're about 11), it'll be justly forgotten. Warhammer will still be going.
