    Netflix has a new tv series of "The Three-Body Problem". I watched the
    first twenty minutes last night.

    There is also a Chinese TV show. I watched a number of episodes
    last year, but eventually gave up on it since, among other things,
    the pace was glacial and I didn't want to spend the time for 30
    episodes.

    After the first episode, I can already confirm that the Netflix
    adaptation moves appreciably faster.

    Ok, the Netflix version of the book is not available in China. I was wondering about that.

    And order of events in the book are different in the Chinese version and the English version. That is sad.

    Reminds me of when a business partner of mine had chinese visitors and by chance they showed a documentary about the cultural revolution on tv.

    The next day they came to his office complaining about the dark
    anti-chinese propaganda they saw on swedish tv last night.
