The first two books, The Three-Body Problem and The Dark Forest, are fantastic. I've been meaning to read the third, Death's End. The books are hard sci-fi so it'll be interesting to see how well they adapt them.

I read the first book recently and loved it--I need to start on the second while I have time this summer.
There's a certain part of the book that really hit me hard with a sense of existential dread, more so than some horror novels I've read. Not sure how it will come across on screen, though. Looking forward to watching this!

Has anyone here watched the China-produced tv series and/or movie based on the novel? I've been tempted to, but I am going to wait and watch this one first.

Hopefully since they have all of the books already written they won't choke on the last season...again.

The Redemption of Time (Three Body X: Aeon of Contemplation)
The first book by Baoshu, an unauthorized fan sequel of Liu Cixin's Remembrance of Earth's Past, intersected with dōjinshi and young-adult fictional experience, which evokes a lot of disagreement and discussion on the Internet, due to its unofficial nature and references to a Japanese pornographic actress. It was later published in 2011 with the permission of Liu Cixin, and Liu's publisher, Chongqing Press. It was published in English by Tor Books as The Redemption of Time in July 2019.[2]

This show has literally been in production for over 2 years. I remember when they showed an “In production” feature at a Netflix Tudum event in like 2022.

It's fan fiction, although it seems Liu Cixin liked it enough to authorize its publication.
Yes, it was endorsed. I figure it's canon, as well.

I have zero knowledge about the books this is base on. But from that trailer, I'll be there day one.

If Liu Cixin approves, it means I'll give it a shot.

Is this one season covering all the books, or is this just covering the first book?

Well its Netflix...so I fully expect it to make no sense the first season, end on a cliffhanger, and then I wait forever for the second season. Watch that and give up on the third when it ends on an even worse cliffhanger.
Then come back to it years later when I have forgot the whole damn thing.
AND THEN Binge it in a couple weeks.

I read they are combining some of all three books in the Netflix season 1.
Right now I am halfway through the first season of the Chinese series (season 1 available in Amazon Prime). Slow burn, but still interesting. From what I've read, the Chinese series is about 90% accurate with the novels, while the Netflix series will be much more different but still align with the core.

If this follows the books there's close to zero chance this gets a third or fourth season, since Netflix reliably cancels everything after at most two seasons. I don't know why producers come to Netflix of all places with a plan for more than two seasons of anything, even if Netflix is more sci-fi and fantasy friendly than its competition.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad thing that I have no idea what’s going on. I get a Lost meets Inception vibe.

A few co-workers of mine were talking about this the other day. They bought the books and were excited to read it before getting into the show.
I’m not really a big reader of fiction books, so I’m just going to go in. I don’t plan to watch the Chinese version either.
