I just finished watching Netflix's Three Body Problem. I never read the books or watched the Chinese TV adaption. I thought it was going to be this complicated intellectual thing but surprised how it was not which sort of came as a disappointment after the books getting all these praises and awards. So I'm not sure if it follows the books or it was because of the Westernization.

The netflix show seriously dumbed down the books to the point it can't be called TBP anymore, It'll ruin the books for you. They also inserted a lot of weird Westernization, turning the story into a typical netflix diverse friends on adventure template story. Don't recommend it at all, I gave up after one episode.

The tencent show is a lot more authentic though pacing is a bit slow. I recommend reading the books before watching any show though

Tencent version was good and I watched it all but:

  1. Omitted CR Red Guards scene where her dad was beaten to death - which is kinda critical to explaining why she contacted the Trisolarans in the first place;
  2. The cop was annoying;
  3. The non-Chinese actors were rubbish. Surely they could have found someone better to play the important role of Colonel Jessup? Or at least avoided him having an Australian accent when he's supposed to be American.

Agree with all except 2. Dashi was great in tencent show, I quite like Yu's performance even if it somewhat diverge from my imagination of Dashi

I thought that's only for early access or something lol.
Nope. At the end of episode 4 they said the additional crew and gear means they can't afford to do it for free while maintaining this level of production quality, so episode 5 onward open to those who patron a small monthly fee.
