Not sure if anyone has watched 3 Body Problem on Netflix.
I read the trilogy of books several months ago and enjoyed them greatly. They were a slow burn and ended not exactly how I would have expected. Kind of out of left field if you ask me, but when I turned the last page I thought "well shit that was a fun read."
The Netflix show is quite different in the minutiae, but the broad strokes of the story are there. This first season covers the first book, a tiny bit of the second and elements from the 3rd. Some stuff is shifted around timing wise, characters are changed like they gender swapped the series' first main character and race swapped the second main character who becomes important in the 2nd and 3rd books, and they are already setting up plot lines that don't even become a thing until the second half of the second book. But I think the changes weren't terrible.
Come to think of it 99% of the cast has been race swapped as the book takes place primarily in China with the Chinese people at the forefront. But eh, gotta america it up I guess.
All told, it was enjoyable. Even if some of the stuff got the switcharoo on it. Im looking forward to what happens if they do a 2nd season and 3rd. The story gets pretty out there. Akin to the differences between the first Ender's Game book and the final 7 books.
I have the Chinese version but have only seen a couple of episodes. It seems way closer to the books so far and is interesting but I just havent really gotten into the meat of the show yet.
edit: Looks like someone did in fact mention this show. Yeah the main girl they got is 100% non-believable as the character she's supposed to be. 100% wrong casting.
The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin
Its got Noel Fielding in it. That alone is enough to warrant a watch. Go watch it. Only thing missing from the first season are Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade, but even so - great first season. Also, its got Mark Heap in it, so yeah. Its great.
