Haven't seen any chatter here a out the new Murderbot show.

My wife and I are absolutely loving it so far, feels like a really faithful and respectful adaptation to the books, with most of the changes being positive!

Anyone else watching this?

Which did you feel was the clunker?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

“System Collapse” (book 7). It was later in the series and it just felt like the second half of one of the books or something. Like filler, or a book written to fulfill a contract.

Hmm, yeah, that one's maybe not as strong, though I kind of look at Network Effect and System Collapse as one story (confusing because there's a book in between them, but that one chronologically comes before Network Effect). I liked it, but agree it's not as strong.
