In a few short weeks, Apple TV+ will premiere its new comedic sci-fi series Murderbot. Based on the beloved Murderbot Diaries books by Martha Wells, Murderbot follows a self-hacking security unit which has freed itself from the restraining measure which forces it to obey humans. Now it can do whatever it wants! And what it wants to is to watch soap operas and ignore the stupid humans in its midst as much as possible.

Murderbot stars Alexander Skarsgård as the titular SecUnit, who is purchased as part of a contract by a group of surveyors who are setting out to study a remote planet. Things eventually spiral, as they do, and Murderbot will have to decide whether it cares enough to help its human clients or leave them to their own inept devices.
