Eeeeee!

I wasn't expecting it to lean so hard into comedy...but I think I'm ok with it.

Looks good! Apple TV has been killing it lately.

Wow, I somehow had the impression, the books were a bit more niche. They are great by the way, let's hope, the series can keep up to the source quality.

I'm sorry but what book is this made from? The trailer looks interesting. I would like to read the books before seeing this show if they are anything like the highlights.

Is it the Murderbot diaries? (2 seconds of googling)

[–] blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, those are the books. :)

Yeah the book is a bit cerebral and contained significant internal monologues and electronic communication. I wonder how that will translate to the screen.

Friend of mine recommended the book series. Went in the queue. I may have to pick up the pace and try to read them before the show drops.

He got pretty excited about the TV show after reading this: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/murderbot-first-look

The first one is quite short, and well worth the quick read

This looks a lot better than I expected it to be. Sanctuary Moon alone might make it worth it.

The pop song remix in the background is so annoying, but I'm glad to see there's some Sanctuary Moon in there.
