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?

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.

    Yes, but most of them were things like shortening the legs, growing out the hair, changing their gait, and adding "fidget" algorithms.

    Not major cosmetic changes, and as he says a security would still identify him as a sec unit, but making it so the meatbags... Err, humans, are less likely to notice.
