The murder bot books are a bit silly from the get go, so the show leaned into the campy vibe to sell the comedic aspect.
As someone who loves the book, I think the show is a 10/10 for capturing the feeling. Though if you where expecting as more serious scifi I can see why you think it's of inferior quality.

I also think going with an Eddie Redmayne (https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ffashion-highlight-eddie-redmayne-v0-pfbzyk0zah8c1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D7c4ae287d05e821d523815df4b00663147d4eb82 https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.... or https://starschanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/eddie-redmayne-height-weight-age-664x1024.jpg https://starschanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/eddie-re...) or (given wardrobe) even an Asia Argento (https://www.shutterstock.com/editorial/image-editorial/MfT7QazbO1D2keyfNTc0OTU=/asia-argento-during-photocall-%22-gigolo-per-440nw-14255866bf.jpg https://www.shutterstock.com/editorial/image-editorial/MfT7Q... or https://todaymix.ru/uploads/posts/2020-01/azija-ardzhento-59-foto-10.jpg https://todaymix.ru/uploads/posts/2020-01/azija-ardzhento-59...) could have worked to maintain the conceit. It's hard to have no gender reveal for 7 books, but it makes the introspection so much more interesting.
