Thought provoking and really makes one think......
The longest I've spent on 30 episodes, but and this is a huge 'but'.. A very GOOD reason for it!!
Brilliant series and right out need to say that I wished that I waited for season 2 to also be available...... Can't imagine waiting for another year or two.......
The reason for taking longer than usual is because of the complexity in the story. I really needed to concentrate to keep track of everything that was happening and spent lot of time on Google. Topics such as 'the three body problem' (what it was all about) and if it existed outside of sci-fi as well as certain things surrounding astrophysics, gravity, radiation, migration patterns of birds, etc etc. All of this helped me in a way to better 'take in' some of what was happening in the story. Thought provoking and really make one think about what we, humans are doing to our planet and where it will end. The writer of the Three Body books is superb in drawing you in and the screenwriters and producers of this series did a great job in my humble opinion.
The actors really did an amazing job at portraying their respective characters. I absolutely loved Shi Qiang's character and Yu He Wei did an excellent job!! Edward Zhang portraying Wang Miao also did a great job. The others also did well but these two kept me engaged throughout the series. The foreign actors weren't that great but I read that this series was done during Covid so that's ok I guess.
Production and Visual FX was top notch for me. I also read in an article that money was running out and that it was necessary to use personal funds at some point. So taking this into account they really did well. The gaming interface was a great addition and it was a necessary part to bring everything together.
OST was amazing, I loved all the soundtracks and audio which were included at just the right time.
Overall really enjoyed this and can't wait for season 2 and 3, unless book 2 and 3 are combined in season 2.
Highly recommended!
