I hate the runtime, 18 minute/week, really? A three episodes series would have been better. Characters are stupid for the Sake of being stupid.
Hope at least Martha will earn something, because even after her involvement the show isn't doing any good.
Sunk cost fallacy is keeping me hooked to this show.
I can write paragraphs bitching about everything wrong with that show.
RIGHT?! I feel like i'm in crazy town after reading some of the positive reviews. I thought the books were amazing but the tone of the show is just really off for me, I'm really struggling to vibe with it. They had incredible source material and for a bit there I felt like they went full Halo with it. I have no idea what they were thinking, it could have been REALLY good.
The show was okay but that intro ... Felt like half the show run time was the introduction animation. I didn't know why it bugged me but the music was obnoxious and it just seemed to go on and on.
The show had good stuff but there were too many characters for a 20 minute show. Especially when their things are communal decisions and working as a team with no side characters. Why was the poly relationship even written, it had no part of the plot or character arc or story arcs. No purpose so it just took minutes away from the story.
Honestly the books weren't especially great either. The first four novellas were decent and entertaining, but after that it really started to drag, lose the plot, and murderbot itself became an annoying abrasive character
