Book 1 = Auggie Salazar, Da Shi, Ye Wenjie, Mike Evans, Vera Ye, Tatiana. Book 2 = Saul Durand, Raj Varmas Book 3 = Jin Cheng, Thomas Wade, Jack Rooney, Will Downing
The Netflix version has a lot of buildup from book 2 and 3, mainly in episodes 6 to 8. If the story intrigues you even slightly, I highly recommend the books! (or audiobooks)
Interesting so it's almost like I'll be spoiling the tencent version for myself ha. Yeah I've been meaning to check the books out. May end up doing it as it'll prob be a couple years before another season of either shows is out.
Definitely check out the Tencent version if you can find it. It's slow I won't lie but it's still just so good. It's almost like you're watching a book play out if that makes sense.
Definitely checkout the Tencent version it is pretty awesome. A lot different but if you like the Netflix one I think you'd enjoy the Tencent one as well.
Nice review/reaction, man. I watched this then started on the books (soon to finish #2) and I must say Book/Tencent does suspense and keeps the High-Concept Sci-Fi kinda more "realistic", but I personally find NetFlix adaptation does *characters* - and character development - better (probably the reason they split / merged different characters).
Awesome! Yeah the netflix adaptation is more like a traditional show/movie I guess. More viewer friendly while still being extremely high quality. It took me a few months to watch the tencent version with how 'slow' it is I guess. Still love it though but am loving this as well.
I've never seen the tencent show, nor the Netflix's version. I'm a total virgin of it lol. I will watch it with you and see if I'm interested. I'm a fan of sci-fi but these last years I'm very selective because there's a ton of overrated shows/movies.
I'd definitely recommend the tencent version. One of my favourite sci-fi related things I've seen in recent memory. Netflix version is really good so far as well.
Haven't read the books but I'm also a fan of the Tencent version. I might've appreciated the Netflix version more if I hadn't watched the Tencent version, but if the Tencent version is 9/10 for me, I give the Netflix version 5/10😶
I'd probably go a bit higher for the netflix version thus far but I obviously haven't finished it yet so maybe it ends poorly. Regardless you can't go wrong with the three body problem story.
@@EamonnReactsTV I know it's a harsh rating, but I found the science and the philosophy absent in it. It's more about the spectacle, rather than the actual existential dread. I actually liked episodes 6-8 more than the first 5, but that's just what I think.

Ye Wenjie is Vera Ye's mother. Ye is the family name. Wenjie and Vera are their individual names.

Loved this show. First time viewer. Looking forward to see what you think and I'll check out the other version.

Looks like I lucked out. I watched the Netflix version without knowing of the Tencent version. Now I get to watch another (apparently better) version!
