"Murderbot" AppleTV. Highly recommended it. [View all]

Alexander Skarsgård (Tarzan, Big Little Lies, True Blood) is Murderbot.
We’ve watched the first 6 episodes. Love it.

NO SPOILER here because this is spelled out in the first 30 seconds. He’s a security robot/clone who’s hacked his own system. He also watches all 19 seasons of a night time soap opera set on a spaceship. Murderbot is basically an unstoppable killing machine getting a better understanding of humans.

He’s forced upon a group of nerd scientists on a remote planet by the funders of their exploration.


Foul language

Very funny.
