As much as I enjoyed the novels, the series just doesn't get it for me. Skarsgard is good as Murderbot, but the scenes and overacting of the rest of cast are amateurish - put me in mind of Supercar and Fireball XL5. Never got that from the books, even though they tend toward space opera, which in itself is not a bad thing. They're good space opera with a wry tone and a unique narrator. The series is just flat. I bailed after 2 episodes. I did like the worm, though. . . .
