MURDERBOT offered a quick, exciting episode this week. It showcased loyalty and doing the right thing even when scared. Sec Unit (Alexander Skarsgard) was loopy and funny. Amazing human traits for a bot.
The fear in Mensah was palpable. She came across as most of us would when faced with a dangerous situation. I kept shouting to my screen to “go!” She and the android make a great team. The rest of the ensemble provided comic relief, and their timing was terrific. Again, there was another cliffhanger. I don’t think it’s necessary since this sci-fi show is entertaining and only 22 minutes long.
MURDERBOT reminds me of those old bumbling cop shows. It is good for a fast break in most people’s busy schedules, but should not be taken very seriously.
MURDERBOT is streaming on Apple TV+.
