We’ve just powered through the premiere of Murderbot on Apple TV+, covering Episodes 1 (“FreeCommerce”) and 2 (“Eye Contact”). Adapted from Martha Wells’ hit novellas, the show follows a socially anxious, soap-opera-obsessed cyborg—played by a Skarsgård (not IT)—who’s stuck babysitting a team of well-meaning scientists. Naturally, giant alien centipedes, “accidental” malfunctions, and a few too many near-death mishaps prove these researchers are in way over their heads.If you like survival sci-fi like The Martian, the futuristic tech of The Expanse, or the fake soaps in Avenue 5, this might be your next watch. Tune in for our unsolicited thoughts.Welcome to Today’s Episode!
