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
#CoSoTV: For anyone following along, how are you finding Three-Body? I'm up to Ep 10, & really enjoying its steady pacing, character portrayals, & introduction of key concepts from the books.
I understand the staggered approach to some of the source material, but I'm also chuffed by the game world, & other special effects key to the story. The closing music is good, too: gently ominous.
So far, in sum? A show that takes its time, & treats its viewers as intelligent turkeys in the process. 😉
