Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
So this creates mixed emotions ... on the one hand, the Three Body Problem Trilogy is one of my all-time favorite works of fiction and to have it adapted to TV as a series is an ambitious idea. As a series, it could be the most epic television undertaking of all time. But on the other hand, it is going to require an equally unimaginable budget or it'll miss the mark. Moreover, Benioff and Weiss? Their track record for bringing it all home is, well, *not great*. The one obvious difference here is that they have completed source material to work from vs. GoT. But I'm still concerned. I think someone like Ridley Scott would handle this better. And I'll be curious to see if they whitewash it - this is a Chinese story where all the major characters are from China. I hope they respect that.
