In Apple TV+’s sci-fi adventure Murderbot, a security cyborg (Alexander Skarsgård) frees itself from human command and devotes itself to watching thousands of hours of its favorite shows. Yes, it still provides security for human clients, but it also thinks that “humans are fucking stupid.”
Despite its disdain for humans, Murderbot has a lot in common with us. Even the show’s cast agrees!
Mashable entertainment reporter Belen Edwards sat down with Murderbot‘s ensemble — Alexander Skarsgård (Murderbot), Noma Dumezweni (Mensah), David Dastmalchian (Gurathin), Sabrina Wu (Pin-Lee), Tattiawna Jones (Arada), Akshay Khanna (Ratthi), and Tamara Podemski (Bharadwaj) — to see which characteristics they share with Murderbot itself.
“All of them?” Skarsgård quipped. “Maybe that’s something I need to talk to my psychiatrist about.”
He continued: “I really related to Murderbot. There’s a lot of humanity there, and that was just super fun to explore over the course of the season.”
Elsewhere, the cast discussed Murderbot’s need for a “recharging corner,” its social anxiety, and its judgment of others. But the real question remains: Do any of them share Murderbot’s murderous tendencies? Watch the full interview to find out.
Murderbot is now streaming on Apple TV+.
