[murderbot] ok. there are flaws. but also. i have rewatched this like ten times and it keeps making me smile, so,

Murderbot — Official Trailer | Apple TV+

my hopes are UP

and honestly my only real complaint is "really weird for a book series that constantly talks about how the average human has brown skin to have its core cast primarily be white" but like. i guess that's fine.

mensah ratthi and pin lee are PERFECT. gurathin is pretty good too, even if i was just mentally repalcing him with solid snake in my head before

who's the blonde supposed to be?

but yeah, those three look PERFECT, possibly because the books describe them in the most physical detail

(not that that has ever stopped anybody)

I DON'T KNOW. WHOS THE FREAKING BLOND!!!!!!

there are flaws, but - it looks like a show made by someone who enjoyed the series, you know? at least one someone

which is not a thing adaptations have ever been able to count on

yeah!!! yeah!!! yeah!!!!!

also ok. i should hold back some of my statements i think, because what the wikipedia list of the cast is telling me is that i am being a little hasty about my complants re casting. me @ me like ok. just because someone LOOKS white doesn't mean they ARE white

i would like to know who the blond is tho. maybe the graycris leader?? idek

I don't remember descriptions of Arada and/or Overse?

yeah maybe it's one of them
