Hopefully the changes they're making will work to grab people early. Would love to see them get to make all four seasons. If viewers are invested in the characters by the time they get to the droplet people will be hooked until the end. Then we can see some truly insane stuff when they adapt Death's End. Let me know what you think.
Four seasons?
@@junlimited that's how long they said they thought it would take to tell the whole story in the interview
The droplet had me. “If I destroy you. What business is that of yours” really puts it into perspective. And how we as humans destroy tiny insects colonies without a second thought just because we can.
Can’t wait to see how they show the 4th spatial dimension on a 2D TV screen!! And droplets attacking ships is going to be Graphical Animation heaven!!
@@farvque there are quite a few things that will be insane to see in the visual medium.
Trying to describe to people what this series is about without ruining entire swaths of it has been one of the biggest challenges of my 43 years of life.
And I have 4 kids.
haha
Yes! I read the books with absolutely zero idea what I was getting into, the only think I knew was Chinese author, and scifi. Well, and super duper beloved in China. It made some of the early going a little bit challenging and confusing but was soooooooo worth it. I think it is the absolute best way to consume these books. I'm a little sad for the show watchers, who won't be able to discover it in such a pristine way, as even this trailer gives enough hints about what it's about that it spoils some of the mystery and the mindblowing moments from the first book. I'm really glad this is going to bring the books to a wider audience though, they so, so, so deserve that.
Same! I start and then I just say to read the books 😂
I didn't decide to check it out until I had been thoroughly spoiled,l 😂 I personally don't think it has taken away from my experience
Same with most good shows. Probably part of why dumbass idiot shows like survivor get such high ratings. Cuz you can easily describe every episode of the show in 1-3 sentences just by describing the first episode, and it's the same as the other 9000ish episodes.. 'Glorified popularity contest on an island'. Can't really do that with a show like this. So it will only get good ratings because Netflix did so well pushing the show. Just like with Stranger Things. But if it wasn't on the home page of everyone's Netflix, it'd never make it past a season.
I wish they had used Chinese actors for Luo Ji and Yun Tianming. After reading the books it's hard to visualize them as a different ethnicity.
On top of that, I think there is too much swearing. Do we really have to use all the American Bad words in media today?
I fully understand where you're coming from. Race and inclusivity only matters when it meets their narrative.
@@steak5599hangover from filming game of thrones haha
@@steak5599 some "smart" screenwriters thinks that swearing makes their work more mature and engaging
@@eddiemurffy467oh it totally does until you grow up yourself and don’t really want to hear cursing all the time. It’s odd I’m in my 30s and feel like I’m only just beginning to grow up, while it feels like people much older than me are my juniors.
Zhang Beihai and Cheng Xin being a couple. I don't hate that change actually. Zhang Beihai is absolute gigachad :) I don't care if Luo Ji is now being portrayed by a Black actor. I think you need to nail Luo Ji's drastic transformation from a common man into one of the most pivotal characters in the series and as long the actor can do it, that's all that matters.
Yes, as I mentioned in the video he's a very talented actor. I think he could totally pull it off so we just have to hope that they pull off the introduction and transformation.
Hopefully we get more asian or chinese main actor that speak english for s2. Because chinese story should be told with chinese characters.
Trisolarans hate and fear Luo Ji, lets see if he can make it
How do you not hate it? Not arguing just curious. They’re almost the complete opposite. Zhang Beihai said with humanity lost you lose something, with the incentive of living lost you lose everything; while Cheng Xin gave up the whole world of lives because she’s too humane.
@@snowshock8958 This the curious thing about WOKE race and gender swapping, Race and inclusivity only matters when it meets their narrative.
I've read the novels twice and watched the Chinese TV series. I'm incredibly excited about this - as excited as I was for The Expanse which over-delivered in the TV adaptation IMO. Benioff and Weiss need to hit this out of the park. I can't wait! Love watching your reviews Pete - me and my GF are big fans!
I have read the series 2 or three times myself (did you read the "4th" book in the series? The Redemption of Time?) but I wasn't able to get into the Tencent version.
Is it worth giving another shot?
I read the final fan fiction book and enjoyed it!!!!!!!
@@sfurules How can you say you couldnt get into the tencent version? While the tencent version is almost a word for word accurate remake of the book
Really Enjoyed the Chinese adaptation, and The Expanse Tv-Show was just sensational
I want to watch the Chinese series. Where did you find it?
At least they are working on a book series that completed.
It is clear that Game of Thrones will never be completed.
I swear to god, if they don’t cast an epic ASIAN actor for Luo Ji, I will stop watching.
I am SO RIDICULOUSLY excited for this show!
The trailer gave me chills this is definitely my most anticipated drop on Netflix of the spring
This is what I was waiting for. I was excited for the last clip and that felt way too lighthearted. Plus they pushed the release back two months on top of that.
Netflix “embraced diversity”
by replacing the Chinese protagonist with five sufficiently racially diverse, non-Chinese ppl. lol you can’t make this up.
They didn’t make it “international.” They made it euro/western centric. It shows they didn’t understand the CCP metaphor that’s at the heart of the entire book series. They completely missed the point.
Diversity is all about removing white males and Asian males.
Tbh don't think non-Chinese people understand that analogy.
I must also have missed the 'CCP' metaphor amongst the 11-dimensional beings, 18-million-year time scale and Strong Force weapon systems ...
Physiognomy is so important in casting. Benedict Wong looks to be a much better choice for the rough-hewn Da Shi than the actor in the Chinese-produced series. On the other hand, I am a bit sad that for commercial reasons, Netflix replaced so many Chinese protagonists with international people. To me, part of the appeal in the 3-Body trilogy lay in its uniquely Chinese setting and cultural backgrounding.
Anyway, thanks Pete, for all the work that you do!
I loved Benedict Wong in Marco polo but Wong is wrong for da shi. The Chinese version is a better fit body type wise. Wong is too fat and soft.
I'm not upset really. Tencent is making their own adaptation. The thing is, no matter how Netflix go about it, it will never be widely accepted by native Chinese readers on the simple fact that it's not made by native Chinese. They need to hire mainland Chinese actors to play these roles and that's never going to happen because how many of them can speak fluent English? There are many great actors in mainland China but the language barrier is not going to work.
So Netflix went the more appropriate approach, westernize as many of the characters that can be westernized without losing the essence. Da Shi is still Da Shi and Ye Wenjie is still Ye Wenjie. All other characters can be whatever nationality as long they portray the essence of the original characters.
You cannot turn Ye Wenjie into a westerner because her backstory is very much tied to her character background and her experience being oppressed during the Cultural Revolution. The thing is, no matter how terrible the Netflix portrays that era, the actual event was 10x more terrifying...
I personally loved the TenCent casting of Da Shi. He matched my internal image of the character really accurately! I suppose these things are purely subjective.
You must not have watched the Tencent adaptation because their Da Shi was absolutely incredible. Made me love his character even more, for sure. Indeed, I think the Tencent adaptation's greatest strength was its the expansion of Liu's fairly flat characters into fully fleshed out, real-feeling people.
racist
Man, I hope you are wrong about Luo Ji! He is one of the most important characters in the books and he definitely should not have been race swaped if that ends up being the case.
Also story wise him showing up so early and being involved in the early stages is a massive departure from the books and might end up changing the characters overall arc in the books. His specific journey from kind of a non-caring, disinterested goofball to ... [spoilers] was amazing to read and was a huge part of the charm of the character. Hope they don't ruin it.
Likewise hope you are wrong about Yun Tianming too. He is another hugely important character who [in my opinion] should not have been race swapped. I think it's perfectly ok to add new characters, increase involvement of international characters or race swap some around but the major players [in my opinion] should have all remained squarely Chinese.
From the perspective of the faithfulness of the story's original telling, I do agree with you. However, I do bid you to consider the perspective that IF the events were real (the story is in the hard science fiction genre and does play into a historical telling of events), then these characters would likely not ALL be of Chinese descent. Ye would be for sure because of the cultural revolution and the course of events that led her losing faith in humanity and pushing the button to doom humanity. But the others have no reason they have to be Chinese. Therefore, considering the vast population of humans on Earth and how many ethnicities there are, Luo Ji and Yun Tianming would likely not have ended up being Chinese. So, as long as their character personality and traits remain the same, I don't see a name change and ethnicity change breaking the story's narrative and plot.
@@MattJett I certainly am keeping an open mind about it and I still believe it can be a great show as long as they are faithful to the characters like you said. I do agree with your take that in a real world scenario not all major players would be Chinese but in the books the actions and sentiments of those characters were so Chinese that I guess I have a hard time imagining them being another ethnicity.
Also, [mild spoilers after this point, so please do not continue if you have not read the books] it can be argued that those two are the two major heroes that save humanity and I can argue that since this is a Chinese story in origin it could have been more respectful to the source material if at least one of them were still Chinese.
But at the end of the day these are mild complaints. The trailers look promising and here is hoping that the adaptation will be as good as GOT season 1-4!
@@iksaglam It may sound delutional but I would much rather they swap Cheng Xin's race than Luo Ji's. They have switched (if Pete's prediction is true) all the perceived "heroic" characters' race, leaving only Da Shi (Luo Ji, Zhang Beihai, Yun Tianming) , and kept the "bad guys" Chinese (Cheng Xin, Ye Wenjie who of course cannot change)... It will defintely not sit well with the Chinese audience, as they are already not happy with all the changes and race swapping... Not that D&D and Netflix will care of course.
Agreed with you
@@justaramdomwanderer2490 Yes absolutely my fear and problem with the changes as well (if it turns out to be true of course). Hoping it's not the case but unfortunately I can see D&D and Netflix not trusting their audience in accepting Chinese people as the major heroes.
I don't want to make a big issue about this as these are just predictions and could very well not be the case and the show could still be good and respectful to the source material regardless. However, I still wish Netflix would trust their audience to be mature enough to accept a Chinese driven story.
uhg... if Luo Ji is really gonna be played by a non-chinese actor, that'll really suck for me. If you're gonna faithfully use the Cultural Revolution as background for Ye's decision, then it should be fair to have the "hero" character be Chinese also.
And the idea of recycling characters to already be connected in the start (Zhang Beihai and Cheng Xin) also ruins the feel of the book. Part of the wonder that the book offered is how these people who don't even know each other end up affecting the course of history. The whole "Oxford Five" thing is just an excuse to connect five really important roles in the book via an arbitrary condition. I guess my point is, I wish the showrunners are less afraid of just introducing important characters as new in latter seasons.
I was impressed by the trailer, but after watching this video, I'm back to cautious on this show now.
Really hoping this doesn't disappoint. Another great summary/preview video Pete.
Thanks Pete! You always cover the best things. I'm really excited about the series and the recaps!
I can't wait for this show! I have my own countdown till it airs. I love the possible Femi Paradox solution. Never scream into the dark forest!
Da Shi is my favorite character from the T3BP novel and in the trailer, Benedict Wong's interpretation is dead wrong in every scene. He looks worried, unguarded, and worst of all, weak! He should be stoic, firm, and unwavering. His first line in the trailer is also expositional; yes indeed, a countdown, never would have guessed, thank you so much for telling me. I've read this series 6 or 7 times now. Dark Forest is my favorite novel of all time. I'm very excited to see that a wider audience will soon be exposed to these stories (been dying to talk about it with someone other than my wife), and I'm even more excited to know that they will undoubtedly push more people to read the books.
I have been eyeing reading the books and finally got to order them this month. I hope I find people to talk to about it too before the show is released
Enjoy!@@diwataluna
Agreed. I loved Da Shi in the Chinese adaptation. The actor was phenomenal.
Da Shi is Smoking ! In every fckin situation. I hope they adapt that too
Oh, oh. Another emasculated male character. Wow, I am getting really sick and tired of this propaganda 🤢. It is so obvious nowadays - almost predictable. It's formulaic.

I think I'll stick with the Chinese version on tencent channel here on the toob. Anyone else can too. Thirty episodes, english subtitles, 4k...
Season two in about a year.
Yeah I am not going to bother with this netflix trash.
Idk why I have to search for “Pete Peppers” since I like and comment on most all videos but like YT, please, put his vids at the top of my apps home screen. I’m so happy you’re covering this show. Cannnoootttt waaaiiiittttt!!!
Oh and bell is rung. But no worries I’ll keep watching Pete, I’ve been loving your channel since sometime around when the Donnager became the Roci
Thanks Pete, another solid breakdown as usual. Especially your thoughts about adapted characters (as people and timing-wise), & the part about the author giving his blessing. In the early days of production I made the mistake of reading a spoiler-filled article which I don’t 100% recall anymore, so have been avoiding other media and trailers since then. (Might watch that last segment of the video down the road.) Will attempt the books next!
8 episodes of roughly 1hr15m episodes is still half the runtime of the tencent one. So, they’re compressing significantly, while simultaneously trying to add plot/characters from 2nd and 3rd books. Seems like an odd choice.
pls stop i can't take it anymore 😭
Thanks so much for making this video - if anything it's compelling me to go back over the second and third books to remind myself of the characters they've adapted. In my mind though, despite the fact that I'm starting to accept the casting changes (and if Cixin Liu is fine with them, then I feel better about it), I still imagine these characters as Chinese in my head. And yeah, if they get to "that moment" in the second book, it's going to be mind blowing. (Assuming we're all thinking about the same event in the second book.)
nicely done Pete! subscribed!
Nooooo Luo Ji shouldn’t have been changed! 😢
I do recommand watch the chinese first season (first book) if you can (30e, 1h), It's much closer to the story than Netflix series will be, and it's good. And let's all hope this Netflix release will not be such a disappoiting. (like The Foundation or even worse Lord of the Rigs - The Rings of Power )
I'm looking forward to this show now... thanks for the overview!
How ya been Pete & happy new year! I have a confession to make the only 2 books I’ve ever had a deep commitment to read was back to the future 2 before the movie was released and Dune after the my introduction to the david lynch on VHS. You & Quinn has changed my life in a good way to try to read more love ya for bringing us fan David S Goyer love that guy as my favorite show runner, I didn’t really know what that title really meant until I asked my cousin who works in film. Thank you the breakdown of The Silo. Now the 3 body problem accidentally stumbled into my wheelhouse by Quin’s Idea UA-cam channel… he reads a lot of SciFi books… his reading of this story was an happy UA-cam auto play accident… but as I listen to the audio not knowing the book’s title but the writing was very interesting and deeply intriguing, today still not knowing the title that Quinn was reading to his audience 8 months ago, talking to that same cousin about the new trailer it hit me that’s sounds familiar oh wait that’s that this story … I cant wait now glad to see you here for us Pete.
I agree, Quinn's Ideas did a very good job presenting and analyzing all three novels!
I think the decision to introduce some characters early could be a good one for the series. I'm especially excited to see Liam Cunningham as Wade. Davos is probably one of my fav characters from got, played very well by this actor. Wade is a badass in the books and I'm excited to see how Liam will play this character!
Thank you for the breakdown pete! will you also cover the upcoming movie that is (i think) in development "Project Hail Mary"?
I had some difficulty reading this book, but finished, then listened to trilogy from the beginning. Incredible books and REALLY looking forward to the series !
Do the audiobooks have good narrators?
The Tencent series was only a YEAR ago, and was obsessively accurate to the book. Not sure why we need this. (we don't) Westerners CAN read subtitles, ya know.
i feel Tencent version still didn't do enough to do the book justice but you can feel their intent to be faithful
the globalization/diversification plus commercialization stuff this Netflix version is bound to be is understandable, but the vibe isn't vibing 😭it reminds me of Oldboy KR vs Oldboy US - latter not being totally bad but the tone just didn't work as perfectly as the original did
If Cixin Liu didn't mind the changes to The Wandering Earth 1 & 2 movies, he's pretty flexible about anything, lol. The Chinese tv show had a longer running time than the audiobook. That was probably the most accurate adaption ever, although the graphics in the game could have looked better. I liked the music in it. Maybe the Oxford 5 combine into a super Wang in the season finale, Battle of the Planets, lol.
Of course he did not mind. Who would mind extra $$$?
Yeah, he’s getting paid lol.
Opening my eyes to new interests. Thank you for the introduction. Ordered book 1
You're so lucky! I wish I could read it again for the first time
The Dark Forest is better
yeah, powered through that one, couldnt put it down .... im not gonna hold my breath on this adapt @@lidvm
I loved these books, with Book#2 by far the best. I am really looking forward to this show. The books are phenomenal but some of the characters lack depth, so I am happy they change them a little for the TV show. I also think they will mix up the books a little
I think parts of Book 3 and Book 2 are the best.
Honestly, the news that Ramin Djawadi is involved makes me know that at LEAST the music will be incredible. The climaxes of books 2 and 3 with his score? I hope the series is successful if only to hear them
Waiting with bated breath for your breakdown of the latest episode of Fargo!
The story originally taking place in China is necessary for understanding character motivations. It gets international in Dark Forrest. I hope they don't breeze past the harsh realities of the Red Guard bc it's critical for character development in the book.
Look forward to watching the series and reading the books.
I'm of two minds with this series, on one hand it looks like an interesting series and a pretty solid cast but on the other, do I really want to give D&D another chance, do they deserve one?
The Chinese tv series was absolutely true to the first book and the actors were great and there was so much suspense. I am not thrilled seeing characters from later books appear out of the book timeline because it messes with the evolution of the story which is vital. Some heroes appearing in this version do not physically exist in the time of the first book. And the books cover a looooooot of time in human history!
So although i am looking forward to it I expect it to let down the trilogy lovers. Maybe it will be better appreciated by those who have not read the books. We shall see...
It most kikely will be appreciated by no one, it will be a let down for - everyone.
I don't get what the ring in space is supposed to be. I've read Three Body Problem and I don't remember anything like it being in the book. When the shot is showed of it "turning on", it looks like it's supposed to be some kind of stargate or something. There wasn't anything like that in the book. What is he talking about?
[Book spoiler-sort of-for anyone who hasn't read, though it probably won't mean much out of context]. I was thinking maybe it was an unfolded sophon? Even though sophons are invisible, I could see the show taking some liberties and making them visible at certain times. The feel of that scene kind of reminds me of-is it Da Shi? Been too long since I've read for me to remember well-is first shown the blinking off of the CMB.
@@erinm9445 I suppose so.... it would be quite a stretch of how the sophons were portrayed in the first book if that was the case though....
Its the unfolding sophon
The gaint particle accelerator that they use to shoot the sophons towards the solar system? I think i recall they used these giant rings to shoot the sophons at earth
@@user-lp7tx1fe6tum why?
Along with bringing the characters forward, it looks like they brought events forward form Dark Forest as well. There was no indication if they will use hibernation in the plotline, or if they will compress the timeline. I'm cautiously optimistic, as long as they keep the focus on the major themes of the series. also, I hope they are paying their CGI crew well, they have a lot of work ahead of them.
I read the book over ten years ago in Chinese and remember feeling so trippy and overwhelmed. I try to read it in English now but find it difficult because I keep on trying to replicate my initial reaction to no avail. Maybe I should just try to read the English translation as a separate novel.
I found a Men's meeting at 6:30am and 100 people show up every week. That is just how much people need community. This is a great time to create places where people can get together on a regular basis. No phones, no news, just getting together and talking just like you do in this video.
Thanks Pete, its great that you are a true fan of the books as I am. Having also seen all 30 episodes of Season 1 of the Tencent adaptation, it might be nice to get your thoughts on it as you have clearly seen it, and ways in which the western version could improve on it. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tencent version even if the western actors in the show were pretty bad.
The American commander with an Australian accent LOL.
Netflix stretched the meaning of adaptation too much with this one, I'm going to watch it anyway, but I wish I hadn't read the book before so I wouldn't have to compare the changes they made.
The Chinese version made by Tencent was already a phenomenal show, I was especially impressed by its original music scores. Wish Netflix can overtake it with an entirely different perspective.
Slice the ship!!!
@@GoldenPhil actually the Netflix rendition is not bad.
@@kangxu4839 ok on your word I will check it out
@@kangxu4839 i watched whole series. you are right. It was really good.
I hope your wrong about Luo Ji and a few things, but I fear you're right.
Only change that is really jarring to me is luo ji. He needs to go from weird goof to main player, they cant mess that up.
This adaptation seems to be flashier out the gate but if you've read the books you know it's still the tip of the iceberg so it could still work
Here's to hoping this blows my mind as much as the books did
Love the books..…just keep on reading.
Really excited for this show
So far I have seen two different narration of the Triology, and the second was more comprehensive and a bit more detail oriented than the first which explained more of the story. I don't mind knowing the ending of a story before the actual movie comes out. It makes it more interesting to watch. "Dark Forest" is the heart of this Triology. And coincides with Dr Hawkins belief of what aliens would do to other aliens when found. "Do not announce yourself to the entire galaxy were it would have negative consequences for the existence of your species!"
2:16 having no experience of this series but a lot with the expanse when i saw that i immediately was like “it’s the ring!”
Your attention to detail will be rewarded.
I'm equally excited and worried about the forecast changes. I knew they'd have to make some major character changes to accommodate a net-new audience, since the source material largely (as noted) plays out as personal internal experiences. They obviously want to reflect a larger global audience and not be as China-centric as the books. I just hope they can nail the big concepts down. Liam Cunningham is NOT what I expected for Wade, but he's a great actor. I think D&D are going to greatly expand his character beyond being essentially an antagonist in the books. I also am assuming the "Oxford Five" are basically the adaptation of the "Wallfacer Project" but we'll see...
Thank you for making this video. It was perfectly spoiler-free, and the overall context has me even more excited about the books. Right after the trailer drop, I ordered the trilogy and I cannot wait to immerse my self in it. \O.O//
oh you are in for a treat. if you didn't get spoiled nothing can prepare you for this story, its scape and uniqueness. i wish i could read it for the 1st time again.
Bought the book as a gift for my brother. Now I'm just waiting for him to finish the damn thing so I can read it ahead of the series release.
Netflix version of 3B is completely different from the Tencent version, and for some that's gonna be hard to accept.
I reacently read the books, feels like I need to read them again
yes... me too
I don’t think it’s diverse enough. They really need to start having the UN do the casting these days.
Let’s hope Netflix will promote it well.
Tried to watch the Chinese one, was kinda annoyed... psyched about this tho
I'm interested and Radiohead' Everything in it's right place kinda hooked me enough to check the show out.
Was waiting for this video with bated breath!
Wow really want to see this read the books, brilliant
i bought the first 3 books from amazon after watching the trailer
I read the novels and watched the Chinese TV series (all 33 episodes) and have little hope that Netflix (probably 8 episodes) will even be watchable.
Totally a different story, but could be watchable
..and the involvement of Benioff and Weiss is what makes me want to not bother with this at all.
Looking at the stunning work they've released since... oh.
Can you do a spoiler-filled analysis of the trailer for people who *have* read the books?
Maybe. I made one last time because a lot of people were asking but it didn't get many views. I've got a few shows I'm juggling right now so we'll see. There are some interesting things I'd like to talk about.
It's interesting to put Cheng Xin in there, if that's the case. It can make her more understandable.
Also Zhang Beihai did nothing wrong x'D **biased**
NOOOOOOO! NOT Luo Ji!!! I hope he appears in season 2, or at the end, like in the Chinese drama series.
Looking forward to checking it out, Thanks Peter
I just hope what you say is true. I have high expectations after watching the Chinese show, which is also amazing and will have a second season on 2025-2026
Relief. Good breathing again. Now i believe and as a fan of the trilogy, it's a great feeling.
This source material is so much more complex and grand in scale that it shouldn’t be compared to GOT at all. GOT is my favorite show of all time
But 3 Body Problem has the potential to be on a whole different level to anything before it. Even Dune doesn’t have the same level of complexity.
I feel for the people who start watching this show without reading the books. You need to get your brain in tune with the ideas involved to even form good opinions about what the show is going to portray on screen.
Read the books 🙏🏽
agree and done
im so worried with how this will feel weird and flop then people will think the books are total crap 😭
@@joshabrogena1240 It does seem like it has the potential to miss, doesn’t it? It’s a very big concept for the audience to wrap their heads around. The show will simply things 😂
Please Netflix, for the love of God, DON'T RUIN THIS.
The trailer already shows that it's more than ruined, it's corrupted.
I struggled with some of the beginning of the books regarding the period in the 1960's because my American Education™ did total ass in teaching me ANYTHING about China's history. I struggled to know if those kinds of things happened, to what extent, why......I was thrown into a world I felt like, as an educated person, I should have more knowledge about and it felt bad....
It's a shame, because the Cultural Revolution and its rabid anti-intellectualism and cult of personality aspects are kinda relevant today.
All that is needed for this to succeed is for the characters not to "forget" too much...
cant w8!
been wanting to see some1 make a tv show for this for years
Dear Netflix: PLEASE don’t resident evil this.
I’ve never read the books, but I did watch Quinn’s ideas video(s?) on the Three Body series and it sounds absolutely wild. I have the highest hopes, but my expectations are reeeeeeal low.
You will have read this a lot I guess but read the books, they are beyond amazing.
I'm glad I recently bought a big TV.
Guessing the thing in teh sky is the Sophon ?
was creepy when teh stars turned on and off xD
Luo Ji is literally my favorite character from the books (second only to Da Shi maybe...) I really hope they don't mess him up or combine him with other characters. I agree some changes are necessary to adapt this to TV, but I also hope they preserve enough of the Chinese perspective to keep it closer to the appeal of the books.
I think the first book is the best. Books 2 and especially 3 are tough reads given all the speculative physics in them. Wickedly fascinating but tough. The most fun part was trying to decipher Tianming's story. Have a feeling Netflix will screw this up.
The Tencent series is great.
It’s look 👀 amazingly good 😌 😊 👍🏾
great video! a comment for the algorithm
I wonder if they’ll adapt redemption of time by Baoshu, the spin off novel.
So the moment that they're talking about needing to reach in the second season... Without spoilers.
I'm guessing it's the character that Da Shi calls "my boy" on the lake? Or is it the moment between Da Shi and my boy in the desert after learning of the outcome of his wizardry?
After trailer I'm hyped even more, but also wondering/worried Does Netlfix can give us a really good adaptation or is this only fantastic trailer... We will see, but fingers crossed. This trilogy deserved a respect, at least.
Greetings!
So where is this "Do Not Answer" website?

I got a lot out of the Chinese version from Ten Cent and I will watch that again. I have my doubts about this. Benioff and Weiss are worth less than hammered $hit. I can't believe they get work of any kind. This series of novels is way way way over their tiny little heads.
What you said about the Chinese POV is how I felt. I’m optimistic though.
IT'S HERE!

Where’s the Fargo episode recap??
The first version was filmed in china and has English subtitles. Its a fantastic series and is worth watching imho. Its so well filmed and the color scheme has a big impact It pulls no punches during the Maoist area and its a very strong series with about twenty episodes that covers the first book. I cant wait to see how this version turns out!
So they stuck every single character from the trilogy into the first season, in 8 episodes only. Good luck and I will not even bother unless I see great reviews that say this is a must watch even if it’s so different from the books.
You won’t see great reviews, what you’ll see will be - “critics consensus 9.1, audience ratings: 3.9” LOL
Hmmm, I'm staying positive however those character mixups with the book ones make me a bit anxious :) I just can't imagine this series without Luo Ji
I read the book series and watched the Chinese TV adaptation; it was incredibly faithful to the (first) book and only added two characters. I feel I'll be terribly confused (like I was after reading The Witcher and then watching the first 2 seasons on Netflix). Nevertheless, I'm curious to see how it will turn out.
It's really unfortunate its netflix thats working on a project this large. It's way too ambitious for them, especially with their consistency issues and canceling shows. I have 0 desire to watch a show of this scope from them, and I don't anticipate this doing well.
was 1899 good? my heart just aches having watched Dark even when i haven't seen a single ep of 1899
