The Cixin Liu books are fascinating. Quinn's Ideas Youtube channel also does an excellent series of videos on them. Very much worth watching.

I've actually seen a video or two of his. They were pretty good. (I think probably about Dune, I suspect)

But will the videos spoil the show?

Don't know until I see the show. It's the guys that did Game of Thrones though so the show probably will deviate considerably from the books. Similar to those "did you know, in the books" videos about ASOIAF.

More likely to ruin than spoil.

Intrigued enough to watch the first two eps

Someone made a good point in the comments of this trailer than the GoT chuckle brothers will have a harder time messing this up because the book series is already finished so they don't have to make their own retarded shit up like they did with A Song of Ice and Fire. Fingers crossed.

From the ritle was worried this would be the Trans version of Broke Back Mountain 😆

Does sound interesting, if a bit nerdy.

I'm 4 episodes in and it is a trip. I'm enjoying it.

Poorly acted, hacky writing, nonsensical plot, seen better production values from fan movies, oh yeah this is a 💎.

I'm three episodes in an enjoying it so far. But Auggie is really hampering that enjoyment. She's been a complete ***** since the start (and not in a fun way like Cersei); it also doesn't help that the actress is by far the worst of the main cast.

I've been planning to check out the book anyway so after doing that I might give this a watch.

I'm two in and I like it enough to watch another ep, but I don't love it.

Biggest criticism is valid in that the characters are not great. What's funny is they're still an improvement from the books where the characters are only a vehicle for the hard sci-fi plot and are even more 1 dimensional.

The biggest criticism is the anti-china opening.

And I mean come on! The parallels to contemporary American politics are obvious.

A revolution against academics, violent malcontents causing a revolution ala MAGA, it's too preachy.

I can't watch this shit.

Pretty woman at bar humiliates guy with her big science, Chinese people talk about global warming sounding BS, the agenda couldn't be any more obvious if it was a silent movie with big cue cards reading "We believe every cockymanie left wing position from the global warning hoax to DEI.

"I can not sign this"

If you father is dead sign it! Testify! What do you care about some dissidents, throw them to the wolves and protect yourself!
