    The Official, Long Awaited, TV Shows Thread

    If you have not read the books, the characters being different might be a bit puzzling. Haven't watched the anime (yet), it seems to be the lowest-rated adaptation; there is actually also a Minecraft version "My Three Body" which gets much more love...

    The Official, Long Awaited, TV Shows Thread

    DANGER: The animation is based on the second book of the trilogy! The Netflix show's first season deals with the first book in pretty compressed format, and proceeds ~20% into the second book in the last episodes.

Well it is not perfect of course, but I'm really positively surprised, considering this coming from Netflix. Sure, people...

    Halfway through watching the Netflix series. Good job IMO, they have taken a few scenes almost directly from the Chinese TV series while making sensible adjustments for western audiences. Hard to say how this works for people who don't know the books - if you haven't, how about watching and...
