The books are amazing, and this seems almost able to capture the tone.
Martha Wells is a great author, and the Murderbot stories are among her best work. Highly recommended.
(I have one quibble with the trailer: only one of these stories is a novel. Bah. Humbug.)
Hrm. I wonder why I skipped it… ohhhhh. The first one won a Hugo AND a Nebula. Usually that’s a compounded kiss of death.
Indeed – they’re as bad as the Oscars anymore to the point that receiving an award is a negative indicator for quality.
I’ve ordered them from the library but will have no compunction about returning them unfinished, or reporting them ‘lost’ to contain the infection if they’re really bad.
Even those guys get it right occasionally …
