Binged the Murderbot TV show over…

Binged the Murderbot TV show over the past two days. 10 eps, about half an hour each.

So. Good. 👍 👍

Season 1 covers the first novella, All Systems Red, written by Martha Wells (https://www.marthawells.com).

The show reduced the number of PresAux characters, altered some relationships and emphasized others, added some new scenes, and overall, sharpened what was in the book.

It absolutely captures the heart and anxiety that is Murderbot.

I re-read the novella after watching the show. It’s fun to now have a voice for Murderbot and faces for the other characters.

Looking forward to season 2 …. and to finding out who they cast to voice ART … ?!

The only quibble I have (and it’s tiny), is that the promo image for the show has replaced the book cover of All Systems Red on my Kindle, because I love the original cover art by Jaime Jones (https://www.artpad.org). But I still have the print paperback and hardcover so I guess I’m fine. 😬
