Apple TV+ almost certainly has a sleeper hit on its hands, assuming sci-fi fans pay attention. The dialogue in Murderbot is relentlessly realistic, which often makes it quite funny, but also makes off-the-rack sci-fi tropes feel new and compelling. Without giving away too much of the actual plot, the 10 episodes of Murderbot feel like a workplace comedy because of the setup. Murderbot may not be a sci-fi future we actually want to live in, but the series itself feels like a place where you already know everyone. Murderbot airs its first two episodes on May 16 on Apple TV+.
