I adored the books and its always strange to see a character you loved and recreated in your imagination portrayed by Alexander Skarsgard in the flesh but... I'm finally OK with it.

The episodes are definitely too short (a bad choice on the part of Apple, frankly), but the writing follows fairly closely the first book- with some minimal facilitating and glossing over. The CGI is good, the set design is good, costumes are good.

All of the casting/acting is very good, and I am loving the humans as much as Murderbot. I feel like Skarsgard is getting better at being Murderbot as we go.

In short: can't wait to see the rest of the episodes.

Personally, I really enjoyed this show from beginning to end!

Im not sure why everyone says the ending was just so so. I imagine because it didn't end like they wanted it to, or in the way they expected. Personally, I hate a cliche.

Shioban Cullen is hot as hell, too, that helped. But, I found all of the writing original and the acting top drawer. I liked our main trio's character development- which is the real story in the end- making the show like a true crime podcast in a lot of ways.

The show was also beautifully shot and never boring visually.

I recommended it to about a dozen people already.

I don't know what everyone's problem is. Clearly this is not a remake of Pasolini's Decameron. It's different and frankly, it's a lot more fun.

The actors are all excellent and the script is loose enough to allow them to shine. I found character development thoughout to be wonderful to watch. I laughed a lot and so did my family.

This show can please a lot of different people with it's kooky humor, gorgeous sets and costumes, and rollicking action.

Watching these characters' sanity slip away was a blast. Watching them come to terms with their new now warmed my heart.

Shove a flower up your nose and go with it.
