3 Body Problem

[NATEizKING]

Had a friend recommend this after it came out Thursday and needed something to watch with no basketball Mon-Wed. Already finished it - one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. Going to be a long wait for season 2 (hoping there is season 2 and 3, it's a trilogy).

Good to hear. I liked the book. Can’t wait to watch the show!

I also think this is a very solid show. Really good.

Evidently, the Chinese government doesn't care much for the show.

I'm not sure if I will watch this or not. I didn't care for the book and the show runners ruined GoT so not a lot of confidence in those guys.

Honestly the opening scene which they have a real problem with is in the book too and it was written by a Chinese author. I was a little surprised that went through.

I didn’t watch GoT, but this show is very good and way better than the book.

Also, George ruined GoT by writing essentially one book (Feast and Dance are really one book) in the last 25 years.

Watched episode 1 last night, so far it's really interesting. Felt a bit like lost.

Well if you didn’t like the book that’s a good reason to skip the show. Personally I find it hard to be upset with the showrunnrrs who created such a great show out of an incredibly hard fantasy series to adapt. Yes they didn’t stick the landing, but I blame Martin as the main cause there.

This show is great.

I never read fiction books so haven't read 3 Body Problem or GoT. If I spend time reading I want to learn something. I agree on the GoT ending sucking but overall the series was solid. I can't comment on the connection to the books for either series.

I never watched Breaking Bad in AMC. I think 2 or 3 times starting in the ep1e1. Now I've been in starting season 5 have been in the 3 or so weeks.

i thought the book was ok, nothing special and all over the place. so far from what ive heard the show is better than the books.

also the show runners are fine when they have source material to follow. which this series is all out there already, so they dont have to make up the ending.

Just finished season 1. Not a big sci-fi fan, but I really enjoyed it! Just wish we didn't have to wait so long for season 2.

 

[MeowingCows]

Finished it. Loved the first 4 or 5 episodes. Thought the end of the season was a little iffy, but still good overall. Would watch season 2 when that comes around.

From the NYT news summary I read this morning, general Chinese citizens are very pissed by the Western interpretation of the book.

Yawn. That's their reaction to pretty much anything western media.

I think you can learn a lot from fiction.

Wife usually hates sci-fi, but even she thought this was very good. I thought it was outstanding. Davos is excellent.

Hasn’t it been like 10 years since GOT? Both wife and I could not believe Samwell had the exact same look.

Auggie? Meowwww.

And yes, I know that is not their names.
