Pros

  • I'd recommend Murderbot by Martha Wells. The first 4 books are all novellas and so have rapid pacing and unintimidating page counts, and they're written from the I perspective which I always find helps with engagement. Plus they're genui...
  • Murderbot
  • Parent context: Murderbot!!! Sugar!!! Both are great. I dont want to spoil Sugar but it has a great twist to it and season 2 is in the works, and Colin Farrell is great in it. Murderbot is funny, well done and the episodes are super sho...
  • Have read Murderbot and I really liked it.
  • Murderbot is great.

Cons

  • my only gripe with murder both is it's 22 mins episodes and it deserves 40+
  • I'd also throw out Sabriel, Ryria Revalations, Murderbot, Red Rising, The Expanse, The Daevabad Trilogy and The Song of Shattered Sands as series to look into.
  • It does lots of really cool things, but robots and aliens being used as representatives for gender nonconforming folks and asexual or aromantic folks has a pretty seedy history. We don't have beef with the series, it just isn't a good fi...

I'd recommend Murderbot by Martha Wells. The first 4 books are all novellas and so have rapid pacing and unintimidating page counts, and they're written from the I perspective which I always find helps with engagement. Plus they're genuinely excellent, and the main character is VERY neurodiversecoded

Parent context: Murderbot!!! Sugar!!! Both are great. I dont want to spoil Sugar but it has a great twist to it and season 2 is in the works, and Colin Farrell is great in it. Murderbot is funny, well done and the episodes are super short and go by quickly.

Pay for a month because you also get slow horses, shrinking, Ted lasso, murderbot, for all mankind, dark matter, silo, bad monkey, and those are just the ones I’ve seen and recommend.

I second Murderbot! Most relatable character ever, and he's not even "alive" or human.
