How to watch Murderbot online
Apple TV’s new sci-fi comedy sees Alexander Skarsgård’s titular cyborg sent out on deadly assignments, but all it really wants to do is stay home and watch TV. Keep reading as we explain how to watch Murderbot online from anywhere in the world, and potentially for FREE.
Murderbot is a ‘self-hacking security construct’, or robot assassin in layman’s terms, who is horrified by the very human concept of emotion, but finds itself drawn to the vulnerabilities of the living, breathing people around it. Hacking its own systems, Murderbot gains self-control, but the now sentient cyborg faces a dilemma: keep carrying out its murderous missions or risk its autonomy being discovered? It’s a difficult choice to make when you’d rather be left alone to catch up on the soaps than immersing yourself in the world of the living.
The show is based on the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning book by Martha Wells, the first of which, All Systems Red, serves as the basis for the debut season. However, with a total of seven novels in the series, should the sci-fi prove a hit, there’s plenty more murderous mayhem ahead.
Muderbot is sure to be a treat for sci-fi fans looking for a bit of introspective black comedy so read on for how to watch Murderbot online and from anywhere.
