Every character is emotionally immature, spiteful, and sassy. None of the 'friends' act like friends. None of the characters talk like real people. They're constantly insulting or hitting each other. It's just embarrassing. The actors have nothing to work with.

-All the major twists/reveals are shown in the first two episodes. No suspense, no build-up, no pay-off. Rushed is an understatement.

Does every netflix adaptation get written by the same exact people?

nobody remembers what friends were like

It's bad folks

The Chinese tv show has 30 episodes. Meanwhile 5 episodes into the Netflix series and the story is already farther along than the entire Chinese first season . This is not an exaggeration.

I could watch it, but the pacing really is a problem. The show rushes out answers to questions that it would have been fun to have some time to think about. Also, really egregious use of CGI for things they really shouldn't have to use it for. The not being able to afford extras thing seems very apparent there as well. In an army of 30 million of course you're going to have to use CGI, but standard practice would be to have the first rank of soldiers - the ones really close to the camera - be played by real people. No such luck here I'm afraid.

I've looked up what the ending of the books is and it sounds like the main conflict is resolved via deus ex machina and then everyone dies anyway so nothing that happened mattered at all

The TenCent series does some things better, does some things worse. Netflix arguably had better character chemistry. Three Body Problem is a good story, but its message is a bad one, if humans encounter aliens and the first thing we do is not bring up communism than that’s unrealistic sci-fi.

But we need to boost this series though, otherwise we will never see a rendition of the far future where every man on earth is a femboy.

I don’t understand how they could fuck it up so badly.

I was willing to give the show creators a chance and even had a lot of expectations from them because the first few seasons of GoT were great, but here it’s like they don’t understand the source materials and don’t know how to tell a good story at all (no tension, no buildups). The “Who has a better story than Bran” meme sounds so fitting now that I’ve seen what they have done to the TBP.

what do you want to bet they actually used chatgpt to write this

Correct opinion
