That's a really great insight! On top of all the wonderful details sholio pointed out. Because the team is really wonderfully messy and complicated, and Murderbot so does not want any of it.

Thank you! I really like that it's a messiness that makes so much less of a line of personhood than in so many other similar stories. Regret inform investment in narrative and social flailing may be about as human as it gets.

I've very much enjoyed the first two eps and have high hopes this will appeal to folks who love the novels and those who are coming in with no background.

I fall in between those categories—I bounced off the first book and never pursued the rest of the series—but I am so far loving the show. The half-hour format seems to fit the translation from novellas.
