Haven't seen any chatter here a out the new Murderbot show.

My wife and I are absolutely loving it so far, feels like a really faithful and respectful adaptation to the books, with most of the changes being positive!

Anyone else watching this?

Does the series spoil the books? I haven't started watching or reading yet, although the first book went on my to-read list four years ago.

Well, yes, they're following the storyline of the books, so the show is going to give away what happens in the books. The books are richer (as is typical), with more going on than they cover in the show, but the basic story is the same.

At this point, the show is based on the 1st novella only.

I’ve never read the books. But I’m loving the show.
