The Apple TV+ series "Murderbot" is based on Martha Wells's novel series, "The Murderbot Diaries."
Here is a summary of the LGBT content in the Murderbot Diaries:
[quote] The "Murderbot Diaries" series explores LGBTQ+ themes through its portrayal of Murderbot, who is explicitly stated to be non-binary, asexual, and potentially aromantic, with some readers also interpreting the character as agender. The series also features a diverse cast of characters with various sexual orientations and gender identities, including a non-binary human character and mentions of diverse sexual identities in subsequent books.
[quote] The story itself explores themes of identity, freedom, and the struggle to define oneself in a world that often tries to force individuals into rigid categories, which resonate with queer experiences. (Google AI)

Loved the books. Might have to subscribe to Apple TV+.
That and Foundation might just get me there.

Yeah, Foundation returns July 11th and it looks so good.

I read three or four of the books. They're told from murderbot's perspective so it will be interesting to see how they make the show without that running commentary. Maybe it'll be narrated.

The first three episodes are out; and yes, it is narrated.

Saw all three and it's entertaining enough, but nothing remarkable. Most scenes are lifted directly from the novels, with little thought given to how well they work on screen, so some of it lands flat for me. Runtime of about twenty minutes might be too short. The CG is pretty outstanding, though. Skarsgård mostly just stands still, nice gig if you can find it.
The beautiful Akshay Khanna is in this as well. Recently seen in Andor and in Red, White & Royal Blue before that, where he played Nicky's hot assistant. Definitely falls into the "would lick his shitter" category, and then some.

I find it amusing that this is Skarsgård's official IMDb profile photo.

Akshay sounds like exactly my type.
[quote]I read a lot of Sci-fi, so that tends to occupy much of my time. Outside of that I love archery, DnD, and video games. You name a nerd thing, and I’m probably tangentially involved. And I’m writing my own scripts and shorts with friends that we will hopefully produce some day, when all our schedules align.

Akshay is the lead of BBC One's "Critical Incident".

I expected higher production values from Apple. I also thought Alexander Skarsgård was way too expressive. Ryan Gosling played a more convincing robot.

r10 Hot! I knew by his hairy arms he had to be hairy elsewhere as well. Can't even imagine what his bush must look like.
