Murderbot | Apple TV+ (Alexander Skarsgard, David Dastmalchian, premieres May 16)
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
"Pretty good" would be my verdict too. Some funny cameos in the space soap opera bit. The scene between Murderbot and David Dastmalchian's character in the second episode was probably the highlight - as someone on the autism spectrum I related a lot to them both struggling with eye contact.
I did think the second episode was hurt a bit by the runtime, as not much happened in the main plot and it was just about to get interesting when it ended.

Damn, the episodes are way too short!!! 
The plot thickens as does the disgust Murderbot has for humans but even he ( it?) is invested in the mystery of what happened to the other researchers. I love how he infused his bad soap operas and compares them to real life events, unfortunately i know humans who do that too.

Well, most of the installments in the series are novellas, with only one full-length novel. So if they're going to do one book per season, that kind of limits the length of a season.
And since it's a semi-comedic series, a half-hour episode length seems kind of fitting to me.
Episode 3 felt too slight to me, there wasn't enough happening for it to stand up as an episode of tv in its own right. I still enjoyed it fine but there's no much to say.
Yeah, you're going along, enjoying the ride, then, BOOM, end credits roll. The last episode was only 20 minutes long if you skip the opening credits!Liking it, but the episodes are too shorts!
