“Murderbot: The anti-hero you never knew you needed—and the robot you definitely don’t want mad at you.”

Hey, it’s Greg Dyro and Tom Burka, your guides through the wild and weird world of Serious Nonsense. If you like your sci-fi with a side of sass, a dash of existential dread, and more attitude than your ex at a wedding, you’re in the right place.

Today, we’re talking about Murderbot—the Apple TV+ adaptation of Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries. Think rogue AI, corporate conspiracies, and a cyborg who just wants to watch TV and be left alone. But sorry, Murderbot, you’re in for a rough ride—and so are we.
