Murderbot (AppleTV+)
A security android struggles with emotions and free will
while balancing dangerous missions and desire for
isolation, evading detection of its self-hacking as it
finds its place. For fans who love
the MB books, this adaptation hits all the right notes.
It stays true to the source material while making sharp
adjustments for the different medium. Alex
Skarsgard does an amazing job bringing this unique
character to life. One effective change is the depth of
the supporting cast. In the books, everything is told
from MB's POV; that just wouldn't work on TV. This adds
a lot of suspense in the early episodes, and allows the
viewer to grow attached to them along with MB.
