Murderbot Ratings & Reviews
- NinepintcoggieMay 18, 2025I hate eye contact too, Murderbot
- Jay and Silent MomOctober 25, 2025Season 1 is amazing. Love love love it!
- Andrew MarkhamMay 22, 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.
- AdamSeptember 15, 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.
- K41e1May 19, 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_Dukes01August 31, 2025The first few episodes are a bit slow, but it quickly develops into a pretty great story.
- Gen LockAugust 4, 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.
- Tom CooperJuly 30, 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.
- Tim AllenJuly 13, 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.
- XJune 5, 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.
- DarlingInThePlexxJune 12, 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
- stevencaceres245June 29, 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
- bigbyronJuly 12, 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.
- NichrysalisJuly 12, 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.
- GreenPillsNChillJuly 11, 2025Very Nice !!!!!
- ahwooJuly 10, 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 !
- Karen NakamuraJune 20, 2025Captures the humor and humanity of Murderbot novellas perfectly. Just wish the episodes were longer or that they were released in a single dump.
- CNSJuly 10, 2025want more
- Arron BrownJuly 9, 2025Loving the show nice take on the anti hero
- Jose GonzalezMay 22, 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.
