I thought it was shit. But then I started watching and weirdly related to the character of murderbot and Guarathin. I read the first book and I wish they would bring Art on this season, who knows maybe after the last episode they will. It's a slow burn, it does get better. Too short though.

Grow up

It's odd, Alexander Skarsgaard obviously has spades of charisma. But he seems, by all accounts, to be a completely talentless actor. Even his take on autism here is only good in voiceover really, his actual actions when interacting with the other crew vary wildly from awful to slightly above average.
The show itself is fine so far, but it should have been 4 one hour episodes or something, not 10 twenty minute ones. Every time the story seems to get going the episode ends.

>>211709030
His monologue are way boring. To the point where i feel it drags the show down.

its ok but they needed to drop the whole season at once. i gave up after episode 3 and 4 both ended in cliffhangers just as it was getting going
will probably watch it when the whole season is out

>>211709030
pretty much this. the show sucks and a major portion of that is the pacing and the terrible acting
all the characters are nearly interchangeable cartoons of hippies, murderbot's "omggg i like hate them but i liiikkkeee just can't leave them heereee omggg lol destroy all humans lmao my tv shows"

it has seriously already worn itself out on me and it's not even through season 1. one of the fucking episodes was literally just 20 minutes of them talking about nothing as they flew to a place... and THEN THEY FUCKING DID IT AGAIN IN ANOTHER EPISODE AS THEY FLEW TO THE EMERGENCY BEACON. TWO. WHOLE. EPISODES. OF. JUST. FLYING. FROM. ONE. PLACE. TO. ANOTHER. AND. TALKING. ABOUT. NOTHING.

that is called "dogshit tv with no plan"
isn't this based on a book? how is that even possible? don't know and don't care

>>211709030
The 20 mins are deliberate, they have to appeal to newer audiences...

>>211708688 (OP)
It's pretty much reddit meets netflix meets globohomo feminism. Basically it's feminism the show made to hypnotise the viewer into thinking "white men bad" and "POC women good". There isn't really much more to this dreary show than that.

>>211709288
It's a premium quality show.

>>211709318
>22 minute runtime
>1 min of intro
>however many minutes of credits, we'll just be conservative and say 1
>14 minutes of non-whites blabbering nonsense, i think it's supposed to be funny occasionally
>3 minutes of interspersed internal monologuing about literally the same shit we've heard 100 times
>1 minute of plot thread that will go nowhere
>2 minutes to pick up into a run toward the cliffhanger ending
>episode drops literally in the middle of some action sequences - feels more like pausing a bad movie and arbitrarily deciding to wait a week to continue, than finishing an episode of a show
>every episode is EXACTLY like this
>the season is already almost over

i truly do not know what the fuck they were thinking. this appeals to absolutely nobody and even if it did i don't know how they could stomach being patronized like that. i CANNOT imagine fucking paying a monthly subscription to hulu or amazon or whatever this show is on to sit around and wait for THIS SHIT. i watch it for free and i still feel scammed every single episode

>>211709369
We have found the Qanon among us.

>>211708688 (OP)
i see little threads like these with like 20 replies max every now and then and im okay with that. i think that's about as much attention as this series deserves. i feel the show is being carried by its premise more than anything and it's one of the most massively pozzed shows i've watched in a good while.

>>211709369
this isn't even that far off
>asshole in the intro that douses a cigar on murderbot is white
>a majority of the corpo assholes are white
>gurathin the mincing weasel and minor antagonist is "white"
>the obviously bad lady is white
>murderbot is himself a construct of corporate violence and control that is a blonde, blue eyed white man

these faggots make such a big stink about race and identity politics all day that it's hard not to have the reverse effect at some point and start noticing the poz fucking leaking out of every surface

>>211708688 (OP)
your show sucks, tim.

>>211709590
suits and costumes, good, settings and scapes, good, special effects (cgi and practical), good

music, trite and basic, casting, poor, acting, abysmal, story, non-existent, themes and morals, non-existent, stakes, non-existent, pacing, terrible

unfortunately all the latter elements are what actually make a show "premium" - and what actually matter to a narrative fictional work - all the former elements are just how much money you can pour into jeetworks farms and a team of set hands

>>211709692
Why the fuck would you think gurathin and murderbot are 'villans'? Geee Loouiise! What happened to 8kun? Is the site down or something? Did the cripple just suddenly died?

>>211709854
Agree to disagree.

Good show, but the asian lesbo is a legitimately terrible actor. Everyone else is good though.

>>211709854
what's it like being a pseud, do you feel the inadequacy of not actually being smart or do you exist under a delusion of your brilliance

>>211710081
no disagreement? no evidence to the contrary? you're just gonna call me a "pseud" like a pussy nigger and leave it at that? kill yourself you pathetic little bitch. if anything in that post came off as intellectual to you when i'm literally just listing out basic, almost rubric-like elements of story telling then you are actually hopeless. we are discussing elementary to middle school grade shit here

>>211709931
i honestly can't tell if you're being a retarded faggot on purpose or not, you're gonna have to drop whatever that embarrassing bit is before i actually have a conversation with you

you guys are seriously so lucky you're on 4chan. if i was actually interacting with you faggots for real i'd be giving you punitive slaps to the back of your head like little unruly shit for brains niglets until you managed to talk like a person and not some bot off of fucking reddit

>>211710332
This is more of a pseud response than I could have possibly hoped for, thank you.

>>211710332
No engagement necessary from you Qanon. It seems like the anon that called you a pseud just majorly triggered you. He probably should have had a trigger warning before posting, and you should check your panties now, I think they're wet...

>>211709931
Gurathin is at the very least an autistic creep. So most here should relate to him.

>>211710332

buy an ad plz.

>>211710772
>>211711174
>>211711342
i still see nothing disagreeing with me in any way the show is shit, 3 retarded faggots saying dumb faggot shit does nothing to help your case. i'm just going to keep replying to all 3 of you until ONE, one of you useless niggers has an actual response. surely you wouldn't be in this thread unconditionally defending a show you have nothing substantive to say about, right? you're not all shill retards like every other thread about garbage media on overpriced and underfed streaming platforms, right? you're all just joking about being gay nigger retards? let's discuss the merits of the show further

>>211710332
the anon who called you a pseud nailed it. I'll add reddit.

>>211708688 (OP)
books were better. it simply doesn't translate from the text to the screen.

>>211711636
i'll add you to the list of useless shit eating niggers with nothing to say then. would you like to say anything in this show's defense or are you going to be a coward like them?

>>211711982
I'll say it filters pseuds

Is he playing Tobi or Swirlface?

>>211711579
I see you had a change of panties, let's see what GPT has to say about it...
...
...
Even a bot agrees you're a degen anon, sorry Qanon...

>>211712116
that insult means nothing to me, but you and everybody else are definitely beyond pathetic for not having even the slightest idea what you like about this show. why don't you stop being a little baby nigger and just say what you like about it? i already made a post describing what i think is good and bad about it, reply to that and agree or disagree. i won't be hostile if you can prove for a single post you have one, genuine opinion about this movie.

i'm just assuming you really all are shitskins at this point. non-white trash lack some sort of emotional capacity for sincerity and the doubling down on being a dumb fuck faggot is pointless and embarrassing for you

>>211712370
i'm not even going to bother clicking on that, you are reaching sharty tranny levels of pathetic. seriously, have you taken a step back and realized the effort you've put in to say literally nothing of value? is your daily life like that too? having nothing to say to anybody? you can say whatever you want to me about this show and i'll discuss it with you

obviously you wouldn't be in this thread still, any of you, if you had zero interest in the show. i'm not going away. put your nuts on and formulate even a single sentence worthwhile

>>211712462
>lack some sort of emotional capacity
You mean... like having a full blown 13yo type of meltdown? That kind of emotional capacity? Sure thing Karen...

>>211708688 (OP)
The only downsides to this show are the episodes are too short. Like cynically short just to starch things out to keep you subscribed. Which is sad because the show itself is actually really good. I just get annoyed when an episode ends right in the middle of what would normally be the middle of a normal episode.

>>211712576
i had zero interest in the show or thread until i saw your sperg meltdown. i suspect even being told that you're a lolcow will not stop you from sperging even harder, especially considering that you're wrong about the show.

"The Meltdown Arc" even gpt thinks this shit is funny!

>>211710332
Are you ready to engage like an adult about the show?

>>211712249
must be tobi

>>211708688 (OP)
i want to fugg him

>>211713939
don't be so childish

>>211710332
kek

>>211714119
He literally doesn't have a dick. They keep showing his no dick zone to make the point just to keep you fags in check.

>>211714119
Totally agreed, he's that cute, hot, weird, nerdy, quirky, dumb kind of vibe... super hot!

>>211714449
He's 100% asexual in the books. Like he wants to hurl at the mere thought of any kind of sexual relations with humans at all. So zero chance of Hollywood doing any gay shit with him thank God.

>>211712370
>see look you're a loser, even chatgpt agrees
currently lmao'ing @ your life

>>211709594
>14 minutes of non-whites blabbering nonsense, i think it's supposed to be funny occasionally
hard pass then

thank you for your service

>>211714851
>with humans at all
but he can have sex with another handsome robot

>>211714429
he has a nice ass tho perfect for you know if you know what i mean

>>211714449
extremely super hot

i downloaded episodes of this weeks ago and honestly forgot to watch it, maybe I'll give it a shot tomorrow if I remember.

>>211714851
Never say neveeer...

>>211715932
i'll be thinking of you when i watch this show

>>211715932
Don't! If you haven't watched it yet, then wait until it's over, just 4 more episodes and one of them comes out Saturday... I will totally binge all the show when it's over. It's a premium quality show.

>>211716128
i'll be thinking of you when i binge watch this show if you know what i mean

>>211710332
Hey anons... wtf happened here? Did he explode?

>>211708688 (OP)
really bad editing and pacing
all the added scenes from the novel dont add much but slow things down
also not fan of the change of tone, while there is action and drama in them, they are mostly comedic in nature
murderbot is the novels is a "good guy" he build his personality around the heros in the shows he watched, and he goes around solving mysteries and helping people, here they want to really drive in the fact he may be dangerous

the 20 minute episodes hurt it bad too

its just not that well made, a better director/writer combo could do wonders with this premise and could combine all 4 short novels into 1 proper season, here they went the most lazy route

>>211709594
the funny part is that the novel being only 100 pages long moves at breakneck pace, they somehow made it seem slow

>>211711982
You didn't offer any arguments. You literally just said
>it's poor
>it's abysmal
while offering no reason as to why.

>>211708688 (OP)
>loosers

Most cringe ESL shit I see next to 'noone'.

Have some self-respect, you ignorant dolts.

>pith helmets as shoulder pads

>Show is called "Murderbot"
>It's not about a robot that murders anything or anyone. In fact, literally the entire concept is that it's NOT a "murderbot", it's a fucking security droid.
>But anyway, the show isn't about the eponymous Murderbot anyway, it's about a group of brown Space Gays.
>The robot only exists to comment about how he doesn't like making eye contact, and to tolerate the Space Gays.

Uh huh. Pass.

>>211708688 (OP)
>Why none of you loosers are talking about this hidden kino?
it's 6/10 at BEST
at least the episodes are short, I'd drop it on like episode 3 if they were 45+ minutes

>>211708688 (OP)
the book was shit and i regret having wasted time reading it because i liked the premise
>hehe oops im uncomfortable better completely backtrack all my character development i spent the whole book attaining by abandoning my newfound friends on the last page!
