I’ve read the books and loved them and am thoroughly enjoying the show. I wish the episodes were longer. It’s definitely got a somewhat different tone than the books, but I think the changes that have been made are generally fine and help transition the story to the medium of a TV show, rather than books.

The visual distinction of Sanctuary Moon compared to the “real” world of the story is great. Sanctuary Moon has all the tropey sci-fi TV schtick that Murderbot is avoiding as a show. Extremely vibrant colors, overdramatic line delivery, cg sets, it’s just great.

I have been playing a lot of Vintage Story. It’s been drawing me away from “finishing” Blue Prince and really digging into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They’re all so good, I just don’t have enough hours in the day to actually play everything. Stupid having a job and adult responsibilities.
