I've only seen the first episode so far, but Three-Body (the Chinese series) might be the ticket for my next hard-SF view.
However, Liu Cixin, author of the original books, is now strongly in disfavour for endorsing China's human rights abuses against the Uighur people. Those crimes are also why many in #SFF oppose this year's WorldCon being held in Chengdu - though others think this hypocritical because the US engages in rights abuses, too.
Nothing is ever simple with humans involved. #CoSoTV
@MLClark Failing to endorse CCP positions would be career ending for him. I was surprised at some of the stuff in The Three-Body Problem book, but it wasn't particularly controversial.
@FreedomATX Agreed. This is a Western issue of inconsistent performative activism. Some problems crop up routinely in Chinese SFF, such as the portrayal of women and men's hostility towards them, but the Western SFF community has generally given those issues a pass where it definitely wouldn't if a white male writer were saying the same things. (Ditto with the sexism that shows up in work out of freshly rising West African SFF.) There's a mess of fairly superficial liberal activism involved.
