maybe the white people are aliens

they white-washed a lot of asoiaf in their adaptation so they might be doing this again

This could be good simply off the fact the books are finished?

These books are highly regarded, and these guys seem to be able to adapt source material well. I am excited for this

Bro this is my thread? Wtf??????

I really hope this is good
We barely get any good hard sci-fi s*** these days

Why tf hasn't there been any news?

Nvm

they got a none netflix adaptation out right now lol

first 5 episodes on youtube right now

is it good?

Lol actually was considering watching this yesterday. Saw it's getting love in China and i could use the language practice with the subtitles

it's getting good reviews

"is it good?" You think earthwalka gonna post some bullshit?

looks like a generic sci-fi show tbh

I caught Matrix vibes towards the end
I'm in

Benedict Wong as Shi Qiang goes hard lol that's exactly how I pictured him looking

I just hope Netflix doesn't cancel this because I need an adaptation of the last 100 pages of Dark Forest

Really enjoy the books but realistically most of the cast could be replaced by generic scientist dudes and the plot would be exactly the same, only really the girl at the beginning and arguably the policeman need to be Chinese at least for the first book (and from the casting it appears those were kept)

In

I’m about 3/4ths through with the first book, and I have to disagree with this summation. Maybe 2-4 characters I think should be kept Chinese, everything else can be freely reimagined.

As far as I am in the book atm, I do think this show would’ve been better served if it was adapted in animation form rather than live action. Some of the scenarios, and concepts being described in the book, I feel like just won’t translate well, unless they’re on some James Cameron level of technology and execution.

Is the book worth reading?
