OT - 3 Body Problem

[Alcaus]

Anybody plan on watching this new show? It came out today. From Weiss & Benioff (GoT Creators) along with Alexander Woo (The Terror). Hopefully it's as good as the first few seasons of GoT. I'll probably start it this weekend between tournament games.



Based off the first book in the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Chinese author Liu Cixin.

I haven't read the books but I have them in my Audible wishlist. Has anybody read the books?

 

[Juro]

Maybe one day. I'm still getting caught up on current shows.

Shogun is the only recent show I've been watching

I'm willing to give D&D a chance based solely on their GoT work. I'll be checking this out.

A sci-fi psychological thriller with the quality of early GoT would be amazing

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Maybe after I rewatch The Office for the 83rd time

I don't think The Office can be watched too many times

Looks interesting. Will watch!

Also, great to see (the actor who portrayed) Genghis Khan conducting the investigation. I really enjoyed that show.

The book was pretty good but the science of it is kind of dense. I still couldn’t explain the 3 Body Problem to someone. Want to try the show though.

It’s got a 70 on metacritic, which probably puts it above 99.5% of the crap that Netflix shovels out.

3 Body Problem

The decision by Ye Wenjie (Rosalind Chao/Zine Tseng) during the 1960s Chinese Cultural Revolution is connected to the deaths of scientists in the present in this adaptation of Cixin Liu's book trilogy by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo.

Heard really good things about it. I've been hooked on Tokyo Vice (HBO), probably one of the better shows I've seen in years. Shogun will be next.

 

[Havoc34]

Plan to watch it, starting it this weekend.

Also, has anyone watched Turning Point? The documentary on the Cold War. I’m 4 episodes in, really well done so far.

I tried to start that when it first came out. I’ll have to try again. I think a second season is out or coming out soon.

Currently finishing Better Call Saul.

For me, it was hard to get enthused about watching other TV shows after finishing Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, because it seems like nothing else will measure up lol.

Yeah, they're a couple of episodes away from the season 2 finale. It's slow at the start but goddamn it heats up about mid-season 1 and doesn't lose steam the rest of the way once characters are kind of established. I highly recommend it.

Good to know. I don’t think I know anybody else who’s watched it. Definitely had a good vibe to it. Think I was burnt out with TV at the time.

I'm afraid I'll feel the same way. Still want to watch Ozark and Peaky Blinders
