Binged up to the latest episode this weekend. Not bad :ehh:

Kind of like "Deadpool" (minus Bugs Bunny) mixed with RoboCop stranded on a comedy "Raised By Wolves" planet.

Here's one thing that I DO like about this show that I didn't expect:
The keep setting up the fact that "humans are idiots". Murderbot is constantly letting you know that humans have no clue what he's up to.

Then the immediately cut to a scene where the humans are like "...how do we deal with the Murderbot situation? " :lupe: .


I didn't catch up to the fact that Murderbot really ISN'T all that much smarter than a human until
He totally failed to catch on to the fact that LeeBeeBee was a threat.

Plus, the expedition leader called him out on deleting instruction manual files in order to make hard drive space to download TV shows. He's actually not any smarter than the 'dumb' humans.

Whoever said Apple uses AI to name their shows is right. With that said it's an interesting concept. It feels like a dark comedy.

Is anyone watching this? Looked for a thread but haven’t seen one.



The name is goofy asf which is what put me off initially but it’s actually decent lol

It sounds genuinely interesting. It's a shame that it has such a bad name. I haven't tried it yet but I'll see this weekend :ohhh:

Caught up with Murderbot, since the finale is coming this week. With the short episodes that end on a cliff-hanger, I found the show worked better as a binge for me. Still don't love it, most of my enjoyment comes from Murderbot having to deal with the space hippies and their human emotions. He's carrying like 90% of the humor for me. Would like it more if the overall show was funnier.
