Murderbot [Drama, Action, Sci-Fi] (Page 1 of 2)

IMDb's (vertical) show image is so good, I had to (also) put it into the thread.

Trailer was just released!

I like it a lot.

It's just you.

Only watched 1x1 so far. A good start! Nice cast variety, and the story offers lots of room to go in different directions.

Yes, quite enjoyable so far.
The 30 minute format keeps me wanting for a little bit more comedy, but other than that good show.

I also wouldn't mind a Spin-Off from "The Rise & Fall of Sanctuary Moon" - it looks like the stupid kind of fun

As someone how has read the books no less than 6 times over the years (and if you haven't read them, I highly encourage it - they are fantastic), I'm very excited about this series. The trailers look like they are sticking to the source material well. But I can't decide if I should make myself wait until July 11 to watch them all together or give in and watch two now....

I hope this isn't just one season. The first four in the series are novellas and this only covers one, and the second one is my favourite. But all four are fantastic, and they go together like a novel. The novels that come after that are a bit more standalone types.

*meh* Not for me... Gave the first two episodes a go. But... just everything about felt cheesy. And yes, I am aware it should be "comedy" and maybe a bit cheesy. I just didn't find it particular entertaining or well made to enjoy. And tbh, none of the characters make me want to see more of them. Not even the bot. Also don't think it is a role Alexander Skarsgård particular shines in.

I had the same thought about Alexander Skarsgård. He is a good actor, but this role isn't particularly suited for him - nevertheless, I think he is doing a good job within his limits.

I was also thinking who would be better suited for that role. Right now I'm at either Betty Gilpin, Antony Starr or John Cena with John Cena being the favorite about the narration and Betty Gilpin in terms of playing emotionless and "switching on and off".

For me that's either sitcoms (like Brooklyn Nine Nine, 2 Broke Girls, etc.) or music

I was expecting more from this.  It's ok, but nothing special in my opinion.

Not sure but I believe several members suggested one movie. Instead of nickle and diming us to death.

So far I really enjoy his attitude towards humans. They mirror mine.

I have not seen E03 yet...

But as I was reading the comments, I just thought that so far the premise is a lot like Resident Alien but with a rougue robot in the main role instead of an alien. Hiding his true self in a trusting community that he is more than eager to terminate.

I am with SgtSaint on this one.
Only shows with single-episode storylines (sitcoms, shows like Love, Death & Robots) should be allowed to have such short episodes. Everything else should either bei 30+ mins or at least be an actual full season.

Nevertheless episode 3 was ok, I really hope the story picks up from now on.
