MURDERBOT is setting viewers up for the final two episodes of season one with a filler that tackles all the moral issues of being a Sec Unit who calls himself MURDERBOT. It was interesting, but there wasn’t much action with all the discussions swirling around his personal space.
The best part of FOREIGN OBJECT was watching the sci-fi soap that MURDERBOT is obsessed with completing. The TV show within the TV show is hilarious and campy. It offers the biggest laughs for the entire segment. No wonder the bot’s reality is constantly being changed. The writers provide great comedic jabs at the crew’s current situation. As always, the timing is terrific.
MURDERBOT makes me want to keep a robot in my house. For now, they seem to be going through puberty, experiencing all the daily up-and-down angst moments. It would be tough to stay out of their heads, as it’s a matter of simply using an ordinary connector. Too bad most relationships are far more complicated.
MURDERBOT is streaming on Apple TV+
