Alexander Skarsgård says he 'fell in love' with his rogue android in 'Murderbot'

Any of us could be Murderbot really, gotta imagine most of us hate their job and only does it out of obligation, and would rather watch

<preferred streaming service>

Love this show, it is my new favorite, and he and his character are especially awesome.

Hell yeah, me too! It's like a blend of three sci-fi bots: HK from KOTOR, Marvin from Hitchhikers Guide, and Kriten from Red Dwarf. This character is such a lovable dick head!!

I love the books. Alexander Skarsgård do a job. I don’t like the over the top drama that the shows writers have added.

LIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES

Having read the series, I was at first a bit put off by Murderbot’s interpretation to the screen. It’s a little cheesier so far - the survey crew for example. And I never got that Murderbot was so outwardly awkward when dealing with humans. It hates it, sure, and sometimes it slips up and lets its emotions show, but typically it was capable of being socially competent (as in pretending not to be rogue - and eventually pretending to be human). I don’t recall the “speech” scene happening in the book. There are also a few lore changes so far.

That being said, I’m enjoying the TV series as its own thing. But I definitely recommend the books to anyone who prefers hard sci-fi.
