“As children, we fear the dark. Anything might be out there. The unknown troubles us. There are those who say we should not inquire too closely into who else might be living in that darkness.”

The drama series is an adaptation of Chinese author Liu Cixin’s sci-fi book trilogy The Three-Body Problem, the story of humanity’s first contact with an alien civilization.

Cast includes Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Benedict Wong, Jonathan Pryce, Rosalind Chao, Ben Schnetzer and Eve Ridley.

D&D as showrunners. At one hand the material is already written so they won't have to think on their own, at the other what if they go off rails and try to "subvert expectations" once again.
I'll wait until people have watched it to get into it.

That's a huge concern for me too. Otherwise great news.

That alone is a dealbreaker for me, I don't ever want to see anything helmed by those two idiots ever again. "From Game of Thrones creators" should be a massive red flag.

As someone who isn't fond of the source material, I might end up pleasantly surprised if they go off the source material. Though probably not, their track record isn't good.

The material is also a little rough in terms of how easy it would be to adapt into a show I think. It's not like the expanse or something very plot heavy and tight where you can pretty much just turn the novels into a script and it'll go at least decently well. So I'm skeptical because it's going to need a lot of skilled work to make the story function well as a TV show. D&d have not shown that the adaptation part is their strong suit though. Definitely a wait and see for me before watching.
