I just finished the last episode of season one, after finding myself unexpectedly drawn to the show. I wasn't sure what to think going in and am glad I stayed. It can be gruesome at times, which is probably why my partner didn't want to continue it, but I loved the story and cinematics quite a bit. I think Alexander Skarsgård performed excellently in this role. And rotten tomatoes indicates that people agree.

With so many shows being canceled, I have no expectations when watching anything. I'm happy to learn that Murderbot will have a second season. 💜🤖

P.s. I can't wait for more Sanctuary Moon as well. Haha!

I was less than impressed, sorry to say. I did finish the entire thing. The story had some potential, but I never really felt that connection to the cast. They felt like a group of bland individuals to me. It was just about good enough to keep watching.

    I definitely felt the connection with Murderbot, but it wasn't until the end of the final episode that I was finally connecting with Gurathin. I think the short episodes make it a little challenging to connect after only 10.

    Well yeah those were the only two characters that stuck with me. I couldn't really tell you who the others were and what their part in the whole thing was.

    But I couldn't really tell you what it's about either. The story felt a bit all over the place.

    Not to get too spoilery but if it is like the books (which so far it's a faithful adaptation), Dr. Mensah is the only character from the first book who really continues to play a major role in the rest of the series, so it kind of makes sense that more time and effort was given to her character.
