I'm really looking forward to The Three Body Problem. Just finished the books last week and am watching the Chinese version on YouTube

But I'm also really wary about how it will turn out lol

The Chinese version is going into the books hard. 30 episode series. And it's kind of showing the flaw with that as some parts really drag. But there's a ton to cover and they're really doing it justice, for better or worse.

The Netflix version already seems very different as they're having an international cast (kind of seems like an obvious choice if you're adapting a Chinese book with almost all Chinese characters into something you're hoping will be an international hit) but the casting is concerning. Benedict Wong is a great addition but if he's playing Wang Miao and not Da Shi it'll be a serious miscast. But other sources say he is playing Da Shi and the guy who played Sam on GoT will be Wang Miao (which I also think is bad casting).

Also, I don't see how they'll shove this book into a bingable series for mass audiences. So much of it is just narration explaining scientific theories and concepts. Most of the characters can be very wooden, especially the main ones, as I guess they're more meant to represent concepts than actual people.

Should be a trip. Especially if they start doing books 2 and 3. Book 1 is kind of a detective mystery thriller. The other two are wild with different dimensions and huge passages of time.
