It is so bad. Everything is rushed and dramatic moments have zero build up or tension. I probably wouldn't have understood what was going on if I hadn't watched the Chinese version which is far superior. The GoT guys are officially hacks
The chink version shot itself in the foot by omitting core scenes for muh culturally sensitive reasons that were part of Wenjie's main motivations for doing what she did, but books 2 and 3 have no such issues. Their version is superior in terms of scope and detailed retelling.
Dumb and dumber may not have the same problem like they had with GoT ie running out of source material, but they now have to compete with a parallel version and Tencent is not going to hold back, since they consider it their baby. Their release year may even be the same next time.
dude literally no one cares about that part, you're the only one who ever brings up and you're always so fricking dramatic about it. It doesn't matter how YW's father died, so long as it was at the hands of humans.
I'm saying no one gave a shit about seeing it Netflix, and none gave a shit when it was cut. It's the villain's backstory, not some grand critique of communism. "This move was ruined because Thanos mother was killed by a mutant instead of a zombie." That's your argument.

I am not that anon. Seems like it rustled your feathers tho
it all went downhill after the milllionaire died. after that the show turned into "wahhh woe is me, my job of saving humanity sucks" or "wahhh I'm such a useless cuck" repeated ad nauseam
The Chinese version had an "anniversary" re-release with additional scenes, some episodes are 20+ minutes longer. Can also be found on YT. Scenes like Wang Miao asking his wife to take photos, but he freaks out when she wants to take a photo if their daughter. That kind of stuff is completely missing from Netflix. The NF scientists don't have much at stake since they're childless, unable to even start relationships, and have jobs like "fast food millionaire".
I enjoyed it. One of the rare times I wish the pace had slowed down a bit to focus on certain plot points more. Expected it to suck and it wasn’t bad. Season 2 should be good with the Doomsday Battle
Season 1 is almost identitcal to the book. They just added threads for the other 2 books into the first season, because the books are completely disjointed and have horrible continuity between them.
Their entire pre-offensive strategy is limited to manipulating two sub-atomic particles. This is the great filter of the show. When applied precisely the particles can be used to do simple things, like change a one to a zero in a computer, which can cause seemingly random outcomes. You've probably seen the YT video about the voting machine/cosmic bitflip. In actuality, the two sub-atomic particles were constantly at work, and that work needed to be divided between them as well. If one sophon is beaming shit into Wang Miao's retinas then it can't be fricking up other shit at CERN. Yes, they travel at the speed of light, but they're not invincible, and if humans were to find a way to test physics that doesn't rely on modern day computer tech then that would only leave the sophons one real weapon, which is head-frickery.
Most of the characters are different, but not all. The basics of the story are the same. Arguably the two best characters were either cut from Netflix version (Wang Miao) or given a greatly reduced role (Da Shi). If you've seen the Chinese version then there's really no point in reading the book.
Book two and three have their own up and coming badasses who will live to have their own poignant arcs.
Middle guy died quickly but he was not part of the story. It's a bonus that he turned out somewhat okay.
augie is one of the worst characters ever written for television. In a way she'd be perfect for the bint that fricks everything up in book 3. other than it's ok, mainly a set up for all the crazy shit in books 1 or two.
The chinese one is unwatchable. The repulsive looking main protagonist can't act, the show is way too slow, nothing happened in that borefest.
Pic related.
The sound mixing is so fricking distracting. Any time a non chinese character is speaking in another language they are literally unintelligible. They even do this weird thing where they randomly dub over native english speakers with an esl moron speaking unintelligible broken english. And its not like they are even consistent with the dubbing, sometimes its just the actor speaking and then in the middle of his lines they will dub it with the chink speaking english. Its such an amature production. I don't know how anyone can take it seriously.
I can just tell it's going to be one of those shows they drag out forever before it's cancelled without a satisfying ending. I'll probably watch it through if they ever ship a final season
there's three books. they've already covered book 1 and introduced parts of books 2 and 3. They might make the final book 2 seasons and I guess they could introduce shit from redemption of time but I doubt they have enough material for more than 5 seasons at most. Plus it's a Netflix show, practically nothing gets given more than 4 seasons.
It's a very bad adaptation, but I don't understand why Netflix thought it a good idea to adapt a dry, hard scifi novel written by a computer nerd in the first place. They stripped it of its essence to make it palateable to a netflix crowd, but scifi already doesn't have broad appeal and it was so dumbed down that I imagine bookgays don't like it
i thought the books had some interesting theories but were flawed but the show just focused on boring teenage drama and character relationships
Pretty fun and interesting for the first three episodes, boring ass fricking dogshit for the rest.

The only good dramatic moment was the cuck guy dying with his friend at his side. Those two were good together. The boat slicing part was rushed AF
it was bad enough that it shouldn't be renewed for season 2
hopefully d&d go to showrunner jail forever
It’s getting a season 2 but considering how low the view numbers were, Netflix will very likely cut buck on the budget which will hurt the show.
S2 and onwards should be interesting imo.

you suffer from genuine delusion

they got paid 200 mill
Like they needed it, one of their dads was literally dancing in the federal reserve when the towers fell.
Regular jail is fine too
it all went downhill after the milllionaire died. after that the show turned into "wahhh woe is me, my job of saving humanity sucks" or "wahhh I'm such a useless cuck" repeated ad nauseam
much lighter on philosophical problems compared to chinese original

>additional scenes
Oh wow I cant wait
fricking sick
mixed
still worth a watch if you find sci-fi ideas intriguing
dropped after ep 1
I enjoyed it. One of the rare times I wish the pace had slowed down a bit to focus on certain plot points more. Expected it to suck and it wasn’t bad. Season 2 should be good with the Doomsday Battle
Thinking of reading the books, how different are they from the Netflix slop?
Season 1 is almost identitcal to the book. They just added threads for the other 2 books into the first season, because the books are completely disjointed and have horrible continuity between them.
??????
they're literally different characters in the netflix show
Book 1 is good
Book 2 is terrific
Book 3 is the weakest of the series but still entertaining
This is only true if your are a mindless moron.
Book 1 is bad
Book 2 is okay
Book 3 is the worst slop i've ever read.
this anon is right
the trilogy has cool ideas and some highlights but it's mostly shit and book 3 is anime
What was the point of giga advanced AI wrapping the world with a cool reflective layer and then doing nothing for the rest of the show?
They were flexing.
Its just one of a handful of one-off set pieces to show how much more advanced the trisolarans are to Humans, only to never be done again.

sophons didn't go after CERN computers, they directly fricked up the particles in the accelerator
dunno, I don't watch netflix shite

Pic related are the only characters worth watching this shit for and one gets killed off pretty early.
The other characters are all moronic crybabies.
Book two and three have their own up and coming badasses who will live to have their own poignant arcs.
Middle guy died quickly but he was not part of the story. It's a bonus that he turned out somewhat okay.
That one webm from a stupid snobby scene made me skip it altogether
3/10 and I want to punch the fricker who lied to me online about this being a "hard sci-fi"
augie is one of the worst characters ever written for television. In a way she'd be perfect for the bint that fricks everything up in book 3. other than it's ok, mainly a set up for all the crazy shit in books 1 or two.
books 2 and 3
the netflix version (not book accurate) was better than the chinese one (book accurate).
The chinese one is unwatchable. The repulsive looking main protagonist can't act, the show is way too slow, nothing happened in that borefest.

Pretty mid
Every character aside from the based old man kinda sucks.

there won't even be a s2

Personally, I am attracted to asian women with aussie/kiwi accents. Nevertheless, the show was mostly trash.

The stupid VR stuff was interesting world building for the ayys, but it didn't go far enough and the rest of the content was dumb and stupid.
the source material itself is dumb
at least with the netflix slop version, you can get it over with fast
*keeps her mouth open literally the entire show*
