Murder*yawn*bot - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30444310/reference/
Extremely lame CGI tv show about what's it like to be a security cyborg with some vague anticorpo message.
One of the Skarsgaard brothers is Murderbot, a "security unit" cyborg who has managed to crack his control chip, i.e. he is free!! but since he's still gotta earn a living, he pretends not to be - a bland parody of office work, "smile and eat shit".
He is a cheap, discontinued model and he's been sold to a group of space hippies who create a commune in a desolate planet. And i'm not sure if the comedy is making fun of the hippies (which was fun 30 years ago but it can stay in the 90s), or if somehow the hippies are meant to represent the audience. And .. no, they are not. I hope they are not.
This show is so fucking bland. The Skarsgaard boy may be decent in doing a vaguely funny character, but little of the show is even about this, with maybe 40% based on the hippies and 40% based on shit action scenes with CGI monsters.
Would not recommend unless you are really desperate for some scifi, 5.3/10
i understand the books were better. The robot character was like a lazy human, a robot who doesn't understand humans but loves to binge telenovelas. That sort of stuff.
