Haven't seen any chatter here a out the new Murderbot show.

My wife and I are absolutely loving it so far, feels like a really faithful and respectful adaptation to the books, with most of the changes being positive!

Anyone else watching this?

To be honest I've only seen the first two episodes and they didn't really grab me.

I enjoyed the books a lot when I read them, but never felt like it would adapt well to TV since so much exposition happens in the main character's head.

Does it get better in later episodes?

Its more of the same. I'm loving it, but it definitly different than the books

It's pretty good but feels quite basic compared to the books.

Haven't purchased AppleTV yet but heard great things so far.

I've been loving it so far, tempted to pick up the books now.

The show is good, the books are fantastic!

I've picked it up as a casual follow because there's not much else at the moment. It's okay but I am not overwhelmed.

The show focuses, in my opinion, a bit too much on that human/bot mix portraying all kinds of ways he's not actually human. It distracts from the (in my opinion rather thin) storyline. Maybe this is one of those shows that is complementary to the books it's based on?

Didn't know it was out, thanks! (Love the books)

I’ve never read the books. But I’m loving the show.

Does the series spoil the books? I haven't started watching or reading yet, although the first book went on my to-read list four years ago.

At this point, the show is based on the 1st novella only.
