Matabot Ratings & Reviews
- Matt Kelly25 de febrero de 2026If you’re looking for a show that perfectly captures the "I’m only here because I have to be" energy of modern life, Murderbot (2025) is the sci-fi masterpiece you didn't know you needed. Based on Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries, this Apple TV+ series managed to turn a "heartless killing machine" into the most relatable character on television. The Relatable Rogue Alexander Skarsgård delivers a career-high performance as SecUnit, a sentient security android that hacks its own "governor module" to gain free will. Does it use this freedom to overthrow humanity? No. It uses it to avoid social interaction and binge-watch thousands of hours of futuristic soap operas like The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. Skarsgård plays the role with a dry, deadpan wit that makes every exasperated internal monologue feel like a personal attack on your own awkward social life. Why It’s "Awesome" The "Workplace" Vibe: While it's technically an action-thriller set on a dangerous alien planet, the show often feels like a brilliant workplace comedy. Murderbot’s disdain for the "wildly emotional" and "impractical" humans it’s forced to protect is comedy gold. The Found Family: The supporting cast, led by Noma Dumezweni as Dr. Mensah and David Dastmalchian as the prickly Gurathin, brings a genuine heart to the story. The gradual, awkward bond between the machine and its "idiot" humans is stealthily sweet and surprisingly moving. A Satirical Edge: The series doesn't just do sci-fi; it satirizes it. It takes sharp aim at corporate greed and the absurdity of "resource-based" space exploitation, all while maintaining a jaunty, optimistic tone. The Show-Within-a-Show: Snippets of Sanctuary Moon—featuring wonderfully campy cameos by John Cho and Clark Gregg—are a genius addition that adds a meta-layer of fun for both book fans and newcomers. The Verdict Murderbot is sharp, light, and deeply engaging. While some fans noted that the 20-25 minute episode format feels a bit short for the world-building involved, it makes for a perfectly brisk, "one-more-episode" binge. It’s a rare sci-fi show that manages to be both "Douglas Adams-esque" funny and "Severance-level" smart.
- Ninepintcoggie18 de mayo de 2025I hate eye contact too, Murderbot
- Jay and Silent Mom25 de octubre de 2025Season 1 is amazing. Love love love it!
- Andrew Markham22 de mayo de 2025Only thing I don't love is the length... Episodes are far too short. Don't understand who would think that was a good idea.
- Adam15 de septiembre de 2025Corny and reluctantly heartfelt in all the best ways and nailed a very specific example of an autist's sense of humor. Glad my neurodivergent son recommended it to me.
- Prokhor12 de septiembre de 2025Very fun. They made the dang robot autistic
- K41e119 de mayo de 2025Murderbot is the most relatable character I've seen in decades! This is an amazingly well portrayed detailed look into a neurodivergent inner monologue.
- Bobby_Dukes0131 de agosto de 2025The first few episodes are a bit slow, but it quickly develops into a pretty great story.
- X5 de junio de 2025The Murderbot Diaries are one of, if not the most openly anti-capitalist pieces of media I have come across in the last 20 years. In contrast, this show, is very unsurprisingly devoid of that critique. The socialists are hippies that are completely incompident, and LOVE corpo food. They always make quiet little comments about how good the med bays are. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun watch. But it's so sad to see it drained of it's message and sterilized for an american audience.
- Gen Lock4 de agosto de 2025Murderbot is the TV series a ChatGPT would make if it had a body and was forced into therapy. It judges humanity with the same silent, exhausted disdain your phone uses when it says "low battery" at 10 AM. It’s the ultimate relatable icon for anyone who’d rather stream shows than save the world.
- DarlingInThePlexx12 de junio de 2025Starring my honey from True Blood, Alexander Skarsgård—yes, the mocha-choka Zoolander man himself—this adaptation of the beloved Murderbot Diaries brings our favorite anxious, media-addicted security unit to the screen. Murderbot has hacked its own governor module and now technically has free will… but mostly uses that to binge reality shows and grumble internally about humans. (Honestly? Mood.) This socially awkward introvert is trying to do his job, solve mysteries, maybe protect a few fragile meatbags, all while dealing with crushing anxiety and a deep love of trash TV. The show takes some liberties from the books, but the tone? Still delightfully dry, sarcastic, and full of existential dread with a dash of found-family warmth. The cast is stellar, the production design is sleek, and Skarsgård nails the subtle humor and guarded vulnerability of Murderbot. Still in progress, but so far, I’m in. He is basically walking Plex, and I feel seen. ⸻ Tags: 🤖 Binge-Bot Supreme, 📺 Internal Plex Activated, 🧠 Smart & Sad & Sarcastic, 🛡️ Anxious Protector, 🧍Introvert Moodboard, 💀 Deadpan with a Pulse, 🔍 Corporate Shenanigans, 📚 Book Nerd Adapted
- Tom Cooper30 de julio de 2025Best thing on TV in a long, long while! Great cast, funny! I didn't expect to find this funny and it's a great mix. Not one unlikeable character either in my opinion, which is a rare thing. But and there's always a but.. You know what I'm going to say already... The episodes are too short.I need another 10 episodes if they're going to be this short. I'm having withdrawal symptoms already.
- stevencaceres24529 de junio de 2025Suer fun series! I look forward to new episodes (and that is a trademark of a great show). Bloody, fun, quirky good television. Sci-fi action comedy series. Totally worth watching
- Tim Allen13 de julio de 2025A really nice homage to the book. At first I was a bit upset when they went off piste with some elements, but the final elements little changes made it so much more heartfelt. Great ep lengths, super consumable.
- bigbyron12 de julio de 2025i love shows like this that make me laugh here and there. Such an unseriously serious show. After watching Alexanders father play in Andor, I could NOT pass up the opportunity to see his son star in this show. The Skarsgard family are some of the best actors in the world, and this show holds up this statement.
- Karen Nakamura20 de junio de 2025Captures the humor and humanity of Murderbot novellas perfectly. Just wish the episodes were longer or that they were released in a single dump.
- Nichrysalis12 de julio de 2025I really enjoyed this. It honestly felt like the sci-fi schow equivalent of watching Baby Driver. Solid acting, quirky but cunning protagonists, and a tempo to the show that overall makes it a fun ride. This show absolutely deserved longer episodes to let the character chemistry marinate more. At the moment you can binge season 1 in about 3 hours.
- GreenPillsNChill11 de julio de 2025Very Nice !!!!!
- Jose Gonzalez22 de mayo de 2025I feel if I say I loved the first 2 episodes somehow the universe will punish me and it will be cancelled. Secunit is literally me in real life. Now everyone watching this will know why it takes me long to respond to them. This show is so far a delight to watch. Very enjoyable show. Hoping it continues.
- ahwoo10 de julio de 2025I've read all the books and this series is true in every way (including the short format). A delightful series hampered only by the seriously short episodes. Can't wait for Season 2 !
