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 haven't read the source material, but so far I'm really enjoying it. My only gripe is that the episodes are short, I'd rather 45min episodes.

    Yea, its very accurate, a lot of it is word for word, and the character adaptations are great.

    They definitely padded it to hit 8 episodes of 45 minutes each (ie, in the books to confirm the map is wrong they all go, including Murderbot, and Mensah doesn't go on a solo exploration), but defiantly feel more like expanding the world than useless padding.
