I just finished the last episode of season one, after finding myself unexpectedly drawn to the show. I wasn't sure what to think going in and am glad I stayed. It can be gruesome at times, which is probably why my partner didn't want to continue it, but I loved the story and cinematics quite a bit. I think Alexander Skarsgård performed excellently in this role. And rotten tomatoes indicates that people agree.

With so many shows being canceled, I have no expectations when watching anything. I'm happy to learn that Murderbot will have a second season. 💜🤖

P.s. I can't wait for more Sanctuary Moon as well. Haha!

The books stay the same. I liked them. I read the first two in a single sitting on a (verry) long flight. They are popcorn books. Fun without too much substance. The action is told from his point of view which is pretty jaded, its supposed to be humorous, and yes its a very dry humor.

The humor is dry, yes, but so is the writing, which isn’t a good thing. It’s not nearly as immersive and evocative as it could be. I’m not recommending against them, just tempering expectations.
