Narrated by a security robot aka murderbot which has hacked itself and watches TV shows in it's head when nobody is watching. It is responsible for keeping a team of explorers safe on a distant planet. The plot almost doesn't matter, we're here for murderbot's growing self awareness and it's assessment of the humans. Really great.
