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 think both book and show are very similar. The show is quite a good adaptation, but it is an adaptation and you might get different things from the books. It's definitely worth a try and the books are very short and quick to read. For me, one thing I hate in the books are descriptions of fights. Those work much better in the show.
