    Really enjoyed the whole series, and when I heard about the adaptation I was psyched. It’s a very cinematic series that is begging for adaptation. While there’s definitely a lot of deadpan humor in the books, the trailer seems a lot more “whacky” than it should be. Hopefully they’re just playing it up for the trailer. I was also hoping for a more androgynous/NB murderbot but I could be won over. Either way, I’ll definitely be watching

      I do hope they haven’t removed some of the humans being a poly marriage.

      The preservation alliance is such an interesting societal concept.

        Yeah, since that unfolds later on maybe they can sneak it in without too much feather rustling. It’s not out front and center and they could include it without making it a focus pretty easily. Bojack Horseman did it, hopefully they won’t balk at it.

      Yeah I was really hoping for an androgynous murderbot. This is a character that’s disgusted by the implication that it might have sex characteristics

    Well that looks absolutely excellent. I love the books.
    I did not expect to be this excited about The Rise And Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

      I honestly wasn’t expecting to see Sanctuary Moon but now that I have I must see more 😂

    I actually benched the books for now, since they didn’t totally click for me, so I’m interested to see, if this adaption gets me back into the series!

    Not sure I’m entirely sold but it looks promising. I was actually pretty excited at the little Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon snippet

      This is giving the same vibe as Foundation.

      They took the feel and vibes of the book and adapted it for TV

      Hardcore book fans will hate it, because it doesn’t fit their internal model of what it should look like.

      But it’ll be a hit, like ATV+ shows in general

        I am a big fan of the books, read all of them plus shorts a couple of times now. Sure I would have cast a different look for Murderbot but they have direct quotes and scenes straight from All Systems Red right there in the trailer. I am also a fan of the Witcher books and Wheel of Time, so in contrast to those adaptations I am hyped haha.
