Murderbot on Apple TV Plus, A Witty Sci-Fi Series With a Relatable Cyborg
Info in movie News | Apple TV Plus has decided to launch its smart science fiction series with Murderbot, a new TV adaptation of The Murderbot Diaries penned by Martha Wells. The lead role of a cyborg with witty humor and melancholy has been given to Alexander Skarsgård in this program, in which we can see some fusion of futuristic technology, humor, and relatively quiet internal monologue. Besides very few, positive examples, where the main character is a robot, the picture doesn't have to do with the whole universe but it is about the same life in the galaxy much more bearable than it was before and only a few misunderstood characters.
According to Collider, the first episode titled FreeCommerce introduces the main character, a SecUnit who disables its internal governor system to gain autonomy. Instead of using this freedom for violence or rebellion, it chooses to take on a contract with a group of scientists from the Preservation Alliance, a peaceful community unaffiliated with the corporate powers that dominate the galaxy.
The group includes Dr. Mensah, played by Noma Dumezweni, and several other friendly researchers who treat Murderbot with rare respect. For a being built to follow orders, their kindness is both confusing and slightly terrifying. Still, the cyborg’s biggest obsession isn’t its job or its past, it’s a cheesy sci-fi show called Sanctuary Moon, which it watches obsessively in the background.
Despite its cold exterior and robotic efficiency, Murderbot is a surprisingly relatable protagonist. It panics in meetings, avoids eye contact, and hates small talk. When a dangerous alien creature attacks the team, Murderbot springs into action, only to be deeply embarrassed afterward for showing too much humanity. It even quotes lines from Sanctuary Moon to comfort its shaken teammates, awkward delivery and all.
The real strength of Murderbot lies in its balance. The writing by Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz keeps the sci-fi world easy to follow, while giving space for emotional and comedic beats to land. There’s a deep, underlying story about identity and trauma, Murderbot’s memory was wiped after a violent incident, and it’s not sure whether it was the hero or the villain.
The show appears slick and polished aesthetically and that’s what can always be expected from Apple’s original content. The ensemble does not just give us warm and passionate but the totally opposite of what Murderbot is-stiff and literal. Moreover, Skarsgård by his deadpan voiceover also grants the character with an additional layer of charm and makes him at the same time funny and tragic.
It's worth noting that, with only two episodes released so far, Murderbot has become a leader in the group of Apple TV's sci-fi. It's a show that is filled with humor and is rich in emotions, and very well written. Every Friday, the viewer gets to watch a new single, therefore, the show is best suited to your weekend, if you are into the kind of robots that reflect on the purpose of their existence and are also full of sarcasm.
Info in Movie News | Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment in his Marvel Cinematic Universe saga, and this time, the tone is darker, the stakes are higher, and Peter is more alone than ever before. To celebrate Spider-Man Day, Sony surprised fans with a teaser that shows Holland’s new suit in action. It’s sleeker, more tactical, and noticeably darker, a reflection of Peter’s new reality as a street-level hero operating without Avengers support. According to Collider, production is ongoing in Glasgow, a city that is being used as the location for the shooting of a movie set in New York City. The fans were very smart, and they found an Easter egg in the set photos that were leaked: an armored truck with a red demon symbol. Gamers hardly had to be told, the logo of the Inner Demons was there, the gang of Mister Negative who is the leader in the Spider-Man PlayStation games. This nod strongly suggests that Mister Negative (a.k...
