Bummer it's probably gonna be like 2 years before another season.

Or Netflix will just fuckin cancel it lol

But yeah it was really good. I had low expectations of those two chucklefucks running it after what they did to 3+ seasons of GoT, but they came back.

As long as they follow the source material they do a good job. It's when there is no more material left to adapt that they ruin things.

Not to mention that Game of Thrones only became an important franchise because of the TV show. So they destroyed it after bringing up. The books were great, are great but far more people watch TV than read.

They ruined things before they ran out of material to adapt.

They screwed up GOT so bad because they were going to do Star Wars, that Disney fired them.

There is no way they could "follow the source material" for 3 Bodies Problem. I haven't seen the series yet but I'm willing to bet there is a great deal of recontextualizing, reordering, and assumptions made to fill out the narrative for a more visual medium. For instance, how do you give the exposition of the Sophon's 11 dimensional proton sized quantum super computer to a TV audience? I'm probably hyperbolizing, but it felt like 30 pages worth of dialogue beating you over the head with computer science and theoretical quantum physics. I'm very science literate and even that had me taking a break to get my thoughts in order when reading it. 98% of TV audience will just become frustrated or confused as soon as they start talking about the 4th spatial dimension if they go by the original material.

And didn't they rush the ending so they could get to Star wars quicker? Didn't HBO offer them more episodes?

Yep, but they wanted to go and do Star Wars, so they screwed up the last season of GoT.

Which is why they were fired by Star Wars.

The Ye Wenjie plot seems unchanged.

Besides that, it's feeling like a very loose adaptation. Most of the characters live in the UK I think, names are different, there are new characters...

And the people not even giving the first episode a chance are missing out. I watched episode 3 a few hours ago. It keeps getting better.

Does the season go past the first book at all? I've only read the first so far. I can wait to watch it if there are any spoilers at all.

I've only seen the first 3 episodes. But I think its supposed to just be the first book. But someone who has read all 3 books and seen all 8 episodes can correct me if I'm wrong

It goes up to the Wallfacers. Which means nothing if you haven't read the books, so I don't think that's spoilers.
