The Three Body Problem trailer for the new Netflix adaptation is out. I must say I am very skeptical of this one. This being one of my favorite books I have my doubts that they will do it justice. I'm sure it will be visually interesting and everything, but that's not really the point. Especially not for book 1.
I recently watched both the Tencent live adaptation as well as the animated adaptation of The Dark Forest and sometimes I feel like these books were better left on paper. The live show wasn't bad or anything it just has a different feel to it on screen that's hard to understand.
Warning: please refrain from posting book spoilers in this thread. General discussion is fine.
After what Netflix did with the Witcher series I’m skeptical. The Witcher was a good, if not great, series of books and short stories, but nowhere near as rich as the GoT material. I found 3BP a middling/good sci-fi story, but to western-ify character development I think they’re going to have to spice it up - and that can only end in tears.
