The apple+ tv series, based on The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.
I am not technically watching the actual show because I don't do streaming services, and because even if did, I would not want to give apple any extra money, but I love the books. So I have been watching youtube Reaction videos, which often show clips of the significant action, and reading discussions online.
So anyway, from what I've seen, it's very good. The changes made to make it tv were approved and in many cases suggested by the author, who says to think of it as "good fanfic".
(I'm sure there are nuances and great moments I'm missing, but I figure someday there will be a dvd or whatever format follows that, and either I give apple money then or I get it secondhand. They might get money from me but it will be for physical media.)
I gather that appletv+ may not even be available outside North America, but I think youtube is. Anyway, the books are great and I think Pterry would have liked them.
