That brings up a really good point. A lot of the story is Murderbot describing how they are hacking this or that. It could be really tricky handling that on tv in a way that is entertaining.

I am envisioning one of those mock audition skits now. C3PO, Marvin the depressed robot, Christoper Walkin for some reason, etc.. All reading Murderbot lines.
The mental health journey of murderbot is pretty subtle. That would be a pretty easy thing to screw-up.
I 2nd Kings of the Wyld. Sequal coming out soon.
Legends & Lattes was fun too, and the sequal 'Bookshops and Bondust' is similarly fun.
Dresden is great, though it starts weak. Like the first 3-5 books are merely OK. But if you get through those, Butcher gets pretty awesome IMHO.
nothing wrong with not caring for a book or author that everyone else seems to love. I have a list of books I DNF'd that are VERY popular. It is what it is.
His 1st written book elantris was way way too rough for me. But so far that's the only one of his books i didn't care for.
I love king's little 80's music references. The sequal is coming out at some point.
Then while you're waiting, you can read Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.
Assassin's Apprentice trilogy by Robin Hobbs
The Night Circus.
Just finished canacle for lieberwitz, and prior i DNF'd Station 11.
Prior to that i read the new Murderbot Diary.
If you're looking for something longer, try Brandon Sanderson's cosmere (start with either Mistborn or Stormlight Archives.)
Or perhaps Jim Butcher's Dresden Files (hard-boiled detective who also happens to be a wizard.) First few books are a bit weak, but gets much better.
Some other ideas:
Murderbot Diaries, The Locked Tomb, Assasin's Apprentice, Broken Earth, Kings of the Wyld.
