The books are pretty good but the latest I had to DNF, wasn't compelling or offering anything fresh.
The show is okay, not great and not awful. Without drones, which in the books is primary first move of Murderbot, the show doesn't capture the capabilities very well. It's also a bit too much pander, cheesy character interpretation and a bit meh.
The show is entertaining and I'm def down for S2 to see if they can improve what they started.
