I did think it was smart to trim down the cast and show them interacting more (and having Murderbot shudder in horror when it would witness them lmao), and the show-within-the-show is pretty great
Not sure how I feel about Preservation being portrayed as a bunch of incompetent hippies tho lol, in the book they're a bit relaxed but not full on clown shoes suspenders like the show, sometimes it gets to be a bit much
