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?

My wife and I are hooked also. I bought the first book in the series and started reading it, but decided it's better to not get ahead of the plot, as every episode seems to end in a cliffhanger. (I don't think that's really necessary, as the show has enough pull to keep us coming back regardless.) I have a feeling though that once season 1 is done, I'm going to binge the novels.

yea, the books are great. My wife and i are really looking forward to the introduction of our favorite character 'A.R.T.'

I cant wait for A.r.t - I hope they don’t change it too much. The next seasons might have to nudge up the budget for some of the scenes in the later books to work. Anyone hear about another book coming out?

My boyfriend has red the books and loved them. I'm not into sci fi usually but love the series so far and plan on reading the books in the future. Haven't been so excited about new episodes coming out in a long time.

I love the books. Murderbot is my competence porn. It's all about smart people getting out of bad situations by doing smart things.
