Hope there will be a China version -> they did one for first book, before Netflix released their own. It was much longer (30 episodes) and in what I remembered from the book did a pretty good job adapting it. Netflix changed a lot of things and condensed it a lot. Reading the book you would ask yourself a lot why some thing happened, how it was possible and if it really was what you were hinted to think.

The Chinese version feels higher budget, but is unwatchable. Seems like the show runner told the writers "Anything science-y we explain 3 times, mandatory." Heard them the first time? Too bad, get ready to hear the same 3-minute explanation again, now with more 'I've heard of math, but never actually done it' energy.

The first season started off so incredibly well. I recently cancelled Netflix and this just reinforces my decision.

Really? I thought the first season was fucking terrible. Like laughably bad. They turned the story into a fucking joke and added stupid bullshit that served zero purpose. Also the CGI was terrible. For how expensive they claim the show was to produce, I have no idea how they ended up with worse CGI than early 2000s B-grade sci movies.

Season 1 of three body problem was absolute dogshit. It had worse CGI than battlestar galactica from like 2003. It was also just bad in general. They added in a bunch of unnecessary bullshit and the pacing was terrible. Pretty stabdard for them. I'm not excited about season 2 at all. Netflix fucking sucks.

And I was really disappointed they'll be filming in Hungary. Yes, that Hungary.
