Finally watching #ThreeBody. This is really great so far. I'm surprised. It feels like watching X-Files for the very first time back in the day. The writing is pretty good too, following the books fairly faithfully as far as I can tell. I was afraid they would leave out too much of the hard science/philosophy/politics of the original book. It looks really good too, cinematography-wise. CGI, less so. Very dramatic too, not bad acting. I hope it stays good.
@danjac I don't know anything about that but it's on The Pirate Bay. It was on YouTube but for some reason now I can't see all episodes. It's on some other sites though if you search a bit.
One thing about this is that it's really drawn out. They keep repeating flashbacks of things previously said in every episode. I can't say it's boring but slightly frustrating. Needs to move a long a bit faster...
Make sure you watch to the end of the episodes through the credits. There are important scenes with relevant (sometime heavy) dialogue and events. It's not just filler.
Really impressed by some of the acting by the way...
Another interesting thing is I was expecting more censorship but there's as much as I was expecting yet. The only thing missing so far is the criticism of the Cultural Revolution but it might be too early for that. So far they've included plenty of Buddhism as well as absurdism (as in rebellion against nihilism à la Camus) suicide and well, the obvious topics for the story.
