    It’s tv series not a movie but The Three Body Problem. The ideas are poorly thought out ass pulls to setup the weirdly specific situations the wittier wants.

    At least the show makes the characters more interesting.

        I read the first book and enjoyed it. I’m halfway through the Chinese series and enjoying it as well. I haven’t seen any of the American series yet but I hear it is also good.

        I loved the books and found the netflix series to be a pretty enjoyable westernization of them.

        There were a few changes/choices that were a bit strange or missed the point, but overall it’s worth watching

        its relieving to hear others didn’t like the book because everytime it gets brought up you usually see nothing but gushing praise bordering on fanaticism. I liked the concepts behind them but really didn’t enjoy reading them at all

      Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.

      The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

        Funny, I didn’t mind that the characters’ motivations were written differently. Much more about their pasts and their circumstances than their outward emotional states, their irrational fears or momentary actions, and their short-term gains. It more all about the situation, the collective motivations, and the achievable ends.

        I liked reading a Chinese sci-fi novel. It was alien twice.
