I’m very much looking forward to this series, which starts on the 21st of this month. The adverts for it look really good.

The book trilogy is phenomenal, they’re my favourite sci-fi books by far and I get the feeling that the series will do them justice.

Anyone else excited for this?
 
I have had the book in my Amazon shopping basket several times, I must buy it before I end up finding out the story (although don't have Netflix at the moment someone is bound to blab about it to me)

I enjoyed the books for their ideas and scale, but did anyone else find that the Trisolarans the most 'human' of alien species There was v little 'alien' about them for me. Even when they were at their most 'inhuman' it was hardly things we haven't seen people do to each other.

A minor point, but one of like to see changed in the series.

Also, it's a four body problem, as their planet would exert some gravitational effect on the three suns.

I watched the original with subtitles on YouTube and I found it mind blowing. So much so, I’m now watching it again.
 
The books are phenomenal and I've been waiting ever since i heard that Netflix may be making a series out of it. If it gets anywhere near the storytelling quality of the books it will certainly be worth watching.
 
It's done by Dumb & Dumber from GoT .. so, it will start brilliant, drop off after the middle and then they'll give up and just toss it off the last 2 seasons

I’ve never seen GoT but I heard that it started to tail off towards the end, hopefully the same won’t happen with this.
 
Someone on here recommended me the book so I read it over Christmas. Not got round to the second one yet. Now very excited to hear the series is about to start!

You should be more excited about reading the second and third books, mate. I’d love a Men In Black memory-zapper so I could read them again from scratch. 👍🏻

There was no "started", it was atrocious

It was a perfect storm of GRRM not finishing the books , so the show caught uk and overtook it, after which some questionable decisions had to be made

If I remember rightly they bigged up the final season and promised, after a lot of delays, epic length episodes. From memory they weren't that much longer (average episode length only 5 minutes longer), but less episodes

in the lead up they announced they were doing a star wars project, and people said this basically made them take their foot off the gas but the fallout from game of thrones ending so utterly terribly compared to the previous lead up wound up getting that project canned

As it stands GRRM still not released winds of winter, 14 years in the writing. Bloke is 74 now so there's a very real prospect we'll never get to read the true ending as this isn't the final book.

That said, well worth watching still, and reading the books even more so.
