The way the trailer is cut makes it look like Hollywood trash unfortunately. But it's from the people behind Band of Brothers and The Pacific so I've no doubt it will be great.

I am getting bored of Americans winning WW2. Can we get another perspective please.

Netflix's Three Body Problem adaptation is looking pretty good.



I know next to nothing about the book. I keep seeing it recommended in "what sci-fi should I read" discussions, but those posts are usually accompanied by people saying they just didn't understand it, or that it lost something in translation from the original chinese, so I've never picked it up.

I tried reading it but didn’t get far, partly because I couldn’t keep track of all the Chinese names and therefore who was who. It’s a terrible excuse, but for some of the names I couldn’t even form a consistent internal pronunciation (doubtless completely wrong anyway). I’m hoping that hearing the names out loud in the TV series and being able to put a name to a face will help, because it is supposedly a masterful sci-fi story.

Judging by the trailer they’ll be called Steve, Bob and John so you should be good

...I...might need a few moments....

[Animalmother]

That looks great. Is it possible we might actually get another great video game adaptation along with The Last of Us? It's almost like having knowledge of the source material is good!
