I knew they were involved, but I was surprised to see their name dropped in the article. I assumed they would try to downplay their involvement so I checked the article to be sure.

I appreciate the honesty, but no thank you.

Unfortunately there’s no way to actually predict the Three Body Problem.

To be fair, the dramatic nosedive in quality of GoT happened when they ran out of source material and had to wing it.

3-body problem is a finished trilogy, so it could all have the quality of the first seasons of GoT.

Over its eight-episode run

It's a series AFAIK.

I do agree they did a solid job adapting things, and I would hope the collective slap from the failure that was the final seasons of Game of Thrones would humble them.

I'm not writing the series off completely, I'm just not willing to give it a shot until after a thorough review and clear ending.

Yeah I think you hit on the issue with your last sentence- a story that's so nonlinear, idea focused, and time-spanning, I don't trust them to adapt it and keep the nuance.

The problem with GoT is the same as with all productions where they constantly escalate with very little character building. There's nowhere to go, so inevitably when they do try and tie all things together there's nothing of substance and it's just a huge letdown.

Adrian Tchaikovsky. Three books starting with "Children Of Time." After centuries of collapse after meltdown, Earth's last gast is an attempt to terraform dozens of exoplanets. The books do a great job of describing non-Human races

The series was a really interesting exercise in not giving the protagonists anything like a fair fight. Like, the level of hopelessness is impressive. It made me realize almost every other story I’ve ever seen is like children’s material compared to this, in terms of hand-holding the audience and making sure they’re safe.

I think the first book is easy enough.

Eh, even when pirating, you don't want to get invested into a story for them to completely ruin it in a few seasons. For how good the early seasons of game of thrones are, I can't rewatch them because of season 8.

It's not a matter of pirating or not, it's a matter of quality.

Still have to invest time and emotion into watching it. Money isn't the only metric

Well I read the book, and I want to say I loved it. But 90 percent of the book is buildup, focusing on the Chinese social revolution. It's equal parts tragic, confusing and horrifying. I mean, it's a human story, but it's not scifi and it's honestly hard to get through. But then the last two chapters have some fantastic scifi, some of the coolest ideas I've seen in fact!

But I'm not sure it's worth it. I kind of want to recommend reading just the last three chapters or something.

In contrast, The Expanse is a fantastic book series (and tv show) and that's a fantastic scifi story all the way through for like 6 books.

But this article is saying great things about the story....

I read all three of the main books by the author. There's definitely some good stuff in there. Really thought provoking stuff. And a lot of crap. Crap physics, crap characters, crap writing style, and way too many plots.

Condensing it down to a TV series might be the best thing that can be done with it.

Of all those people, Sanderson shouldn’t have you spooked at all. As long as he doesn’t die, he will finish what he starts, I guarantee it.

Brandon Sanderson is a machine. Nothing like the others

Yeah where is thorn of emberlain? What's the story with lynch?
