I'm really loving the three body problem but I'm completely unfamiliar with the original novels. The show at least got me greatly interested in the premise. Was going to read the novels anyway but this post might convince me to pick them up sooner rather than later.
Its like they asked how they could make this Chinese story as anti China as possible.
I don't like the actress they have for Wang Miao and I don't like what they did to my boy Da Shi, but the show has the budget to actually pull off some of the crazy sci-fi fantasy bullshit depicted in the books. The Panama scene was cool. The sophon unfolding was cool. Eventually Netflix is gonna have to spend a squillion dollars trying to depict the dual-vector foil and that's gonna be sick.
I am enjoying the show while nitpicking about all the details. Like all your criticisms ring true to me, but also last night I got to see a much cooler version of that one scene from Ghost Ship and I know the weird sci-fi stuff only gets better.
