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!

    I was less than impressed, sorry to say. I did finish the entire thing. The story had some potential, but I never really felt that connection to the cast. They felt like a group of bland individuals to me. It was just about good enough to keep watching.

      I definitely felt the connection with Murderbot, but it wasn’t until the end of the final episode that I was finally connecting with Gurathin. I think the short episodes make it a little challenging to connect after only 10.

        Well yeah those were the only two characters that stuck with me. I couldn’t really tell you who the others were and what their part in the whole thing was.

        But I couldn’t really tell you what it’s about either. The story felt a bit all over the place.

          jeez. it’s not the greatest show in the world but it was coherent enough to know what the characters did and what the plot was.

            It was coherent enough for me to get to the end of the season but for me, I’ll say it was just okay

          Not to get too spoilery but if it is like the books (which so far it’s a faithful adaptation), Dr. Mensah is the only character from the first book who really continues to play a major role in the rest of the series, so it kind of makes sense that more time and effort was given to her character.
