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?

    I don’t agree they look totally ‘non-human’, since they are able to pass as human security consultant with little to no changes to their appearance. Heavily augmented, but human enough to pass with little more than a heavy sweater/hoodie and a cap.

    Honestly, i love the way everyone of the Corporation Rim dismisses Preservation, they are a bunch of backwater hippies… and the fact they do have a working and strong economy just shows how wrong the CR is.

      It was only after ART’s modifications that Murderbot was able to pass for a heavily augmented human. That was the point of them.

      I hope they show the Preservation more seriously later. It was all vague at the start in the books. Though I will be rereading!

        ARTs modifications helped, but he did walk around prior to receiving them. ART adjusted his height, how his hair grew, ect, but didn’t fundamentally change his looks.

          But the whole point of the modifications was so it could pass as human. Which means beforehand, it was a struggle to.
