I re-read ‘All Systems Red’, the first book in the Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells, in preparation for watching the television adaptation. I’m happy to report that I still love the book just as much the second time around (I only read it for the first time last October, so that makes sense), and that - though not entirely how I imagined it - I don’t dislike the television show and feel like a lot of the changes make sense for the change of medium. The casting choice of Noma Dumezweni as Dr Mensah is great, but I’m still getting a feel for everyone else. It threw me a little bit that they ditched both Volescu (this cut kind of made sense to be honest) and Overse (whose removal necessitated some changes in relationship dynamics), but I don’t think that it is necessarily a bad thing. The show also does some story elements differently from the book, in a different order, or appears to omit them entirely. Again, I can understand some of the changes for pacing issues and the need to show things rather than relying on the constant internal monologue.

I’ll definitely be tuning in next week to see how the show progresses.

I’m reading a book and evidently it’s also a miniseries. And a major plot point was revealed, because someone thought I had seen the show first.

I didn’t know it existed (apparently won an Emmy)
