The Apple TV+ series "Murderbot" is based on Martha Wells's novel series, "The Murderbot Diaries."

Here is a summary of the LGBT content in the Murderbot Diaries:

[quote] The "Murderbot Diaries" series explores LGBTQ+ themes through its portrayal of Murderbot, who is explicitly stated to be non-binary, asexual, and potentially aromantic, with some readers also interpreting the character as agender. The series also features a diverse cast of characters with various sexual orientations and gender identities, including a non-binary human character and mentions of diverse sexual identities in subsequent books.

[quote] The story itself explores themes of identity, freedom, and the struggle to define oneself in a world that often tries to force individuals into rigid categories, which resonate with queer experiences. (Google AI)

Loved the books. Might have to subscribe to Apple TV+.

That and Foundation might just get me there.

Yeah, Foundation returns July 11th and it looks so good.

I read three or four of the books. They're told from murderbot's perspective so it will be interesting to see how they make the show without that running commentary. Maybe it'll be narrated.
