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.
I’m also quite worried for this, but surely saying they did “pretty well” is a massive understatement. The good seasons are some of the best TV I’ve seen, and since the show even now is #13 on IMDb, I think it’s fair to say they did an incredible job with the show when they had the source material to guide them.
