‘Murderbot’ thoughts, Season 1, Episode 9: ‘All Systems Red’

Even if there isn’t much tension involved in the question of whether the title character, played by the show’s only marketable star, dies in the season one finale, there’s still just, y’know, the pleasures of watching Murderbot. Solid jokes, solid action, impressive gore, a clever spin on robotics and actual artificial intelligence, some cutaways to Murderbot’s stories, a monster or two maybe, and off-kilter romantic/sexual tension between just about everyone in the crew — that’s the Murderbot promise, and I see no reason why the finale won’t deliver.

I reviewed last week’s episode of Murderbot for Decider. It was delayed due to an inexplicable technical glitch, which seems appropriate.
