I love this series, read all the books multiple times and also watched the 30 episode long book 1 tv adaption in Chinese. I can't wait to watch the book1 adaption on Netflix in a couple of days. I am really hoping its well received and they go on to make the season 2 based on book 2 which was by far my favorite book in the series.

This show is so underrated and so good. I feel like certain viewers are expecting some kind of explosions or conflict in the first episode itself.

There is so much tension in the Chinese show, and so much is going on at once (without much violence). It speaks to the quality of the writing. Also the music is really good.

You're mistaking morose insipidity for tension.

The Chinese series - does it do all three books ?

I know it has something like 30 episodes, so I had to look; it appears to only cover the first book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Body .

Wow, time sink :-/

I did watch the first two episodes and it dragged already in #2.
