I agree with this review. They are rushing through the story. That rushing means more voiceovers and more “terminal text overlays” (dunno what to call those things). Pretty sure the lead must’ve complained about wearing the helmet since he’s almost never in it. Also in the books, murderbot’s allies do a lot to make him look more human later on. Out of the gate on tv he looks completely human. After watching the first two eps, I think I’m going to give up on this one.
Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week?
Eideen@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI was disappointed that they answered so many questions up front, instead of flashbacks, and felt dum down the books. the hippie factor is over done.
For me I would give the television serie a 4/6 and the books 6/6

Another issue I have is that at least the first two episodes are less than half an hour long, and after this we will only get one per week. For me that’s too little content per week, so I might just wait until more is released until I continue.
As a comparison Andor imo had an amazing release schedule with its 3 episode blocks with each being between 45-55min long.
