It's been a while since I listened to The Murderbot Diaries audio books, but I loved them. I was excited for the series, and thought that Alexander Skarsgård could do a good job.

So far, the series isn't great. Having Murderbot be unmasked most of the time is a mistake. Instead of being a security robot, Murderbot seems like an autistic guy wearing light armor. He could start mumbling about "Wheel of Fortune" at any moment.

Working with the crew on the planet is Murderbot's first job, so we may not see them again. For the first three episodes, why did they have actors with no charisma? The books are all internal dialogue. TV is a different medium, and the other characters had to bring something to the table. They didn't.

Instead, we got the introduction about how the crew is bisexual or polyamorous, whatever, that wasn't relevant.

I will watch a few more episodes and hope for the best.

When watching a mockumentary with a point of view, if you agree, then you don't expect much more than vindication.

Michael Moore's "Roger and Me", was the first of these that I'd seen. He made the target look ridiculous, but there wasn't much more to it. The movie was kind of mean-spirited.

These Ben Shapiro productions can be hit or miss. "Lady Ballers" was kind of dumb. They started with a decent premise, but it wasn't executed well.

Matt Walsh does a nice job with these "I'm just asking questions" movies. "What is a Woman?" was great. He just asked a bunch of questions, and let people speak for themselves.

"Am I Racist" is similar. Walsh has to think on his feet, and kind of set it up for people in the racism industry to show who they are. I'd expect a movie like this to be amusing and a little cringy, but this was hilarious in parts. These people are outlandish.

It was a nice touch to show how much the people were paid to appear.
