Apple's new series based on the sci-fi novels of the same name lets the actor lean into his funny side as a socially awkward, emotionless, TV-addicted security AI

Skarsgård proves delightful as Murderbot, nicely juxtaposing his own imposing physical appearance with Murderbot's awkwardness around humans. With just a flit of his eyes or a twitch of his mouth, Skarsgård conveys all of Murderbot's emotional discomfort. Pair that with his much more sarcastic voiceover to get even more hilarious contrast.

Alexander Skarsgard shines in Apple's new sci-fi comedy Murderbot, but the rest of the show leaves a little to be desired.
