We're back with Episode 2 of the Apple TV adaptation of one of my favorite book series, The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.

In this episode Murderbot contends with a team of humans that don't know if they can trust it, the horrors of forced eye contact, and Aaron and I argue over the necessity of messy relationship drama. You guys have no idea how much of that conversation I left on the cutting room floor in editing. You're welcome.

WELCOME to the first episode of our Murderbot podcast coinciding with each episode of the new Apple+ TV show! Catch myself and Aaron Carter here every week breaking things down episode by episode and discussing what we're thinking of this adaptation of a book we both love so much.

Let us know what you think on social media, you can find me everywhere @EmmaSkies - TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, and Bluesky. Aaron is not on social media these days so unfortunately you can also direct your ire at him to me and I'll be sure to pass it along.
