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 am not at all confident that anyone, least of all these two chuckleheads, are capable of adapting this series faithfully. IMO this is a story best kept to the page, at least for now.

    I’m expecting original Dune (1984) levels bad.

      Yeah, I was excited for this until I saw who was making it! I’m going to give it a shot, but like you I’m not confident it will work as a TV show. Maybe if they did book 1 + book 2 as the first season.
