Murderbot, streaming on Apple TV+, is a sci-fi action comedy series based on Martha Wells' novels. The story unfolds in a hyper-capitalist future featuring a security robot, played by Alexander Skarsgard, who gains autonomy from its programming. Instead of instigating a rebellion against humans, the self-labeled Murderbot opts to indulge in binge-watching television. Its journey takes a turn when it is tasked with protecting scientists, leading to themes of empathy and personal connection. Skarsgard's performance deftly combines humor and depth, making Murderbot an enjoyable and thought-provoking summer series.
Murderbot chooses to entertain itself with endless TV binges instead of leading a robot revolution, focusing on caring and empathy for humans.
Alexander Skarsgard delivers a multidimensional performance as Murderbot, balancing between sardonicism and warmth, making the character both relatable and humorous.
Set in a hyper-capitalist future, the series highlights themes of autonomy and emotional development against the background of an oppressive corporate structure.
New episodes of Murderbot will premiere on Fridays on Apple TV+, starting May 16, with the season finale taking place on July 11.
