I like the show, but Augie is the worst character ever written for any show ever. I cringed every time she showed up again. It's a show about aliens and the least believable part of the show is that Augie would have any friends.

The show captures the spirit of the books well. The books jump back and forth way more and the show takes story lines from later book there told in flashbacks and puts them in chronological order.

I thought the same. It just isn't cohesive. It really feels like a Frankenshow.

I've read the first book and only watched the first two episodes. First thing : the Book takes place in China, which is more logical.

From what I've seen from the first two episodes, they created a lot of new things (the number of protagonists, the fact that a girl seemingly come from nowhere and doesn't appear on cameras, the fact that the satellites didn't see the blinking stars whereas it was precisely the satellites that saw them in the book, ...)

I think the show took the book, did a fanfic rewriting of it and published it. Were they right ? Maybe, because the boo wouldn't translate really well as is, in a TV show.

I have yet to read the book, but one the things didn’t like from the show is that all the key players for working to fight back happened to be a group of friends who all knew each other, which is kinda implausible. Was it the same in the book?

[–] Ashiette 1 points 8 months ago

There wasn't a group of friends. It was one persone all along : Wang Miao.

There's a Chinese version of the series that is already finished. Idk if it's any good or not.

This one should be continued… but in the vein of Netflix being morons, I’ll believe it when I see it.

I only made it about four episodes in. It just seemed like daft sci-fi nonsense with a few hard sci-fi concepts in the mix. I got bored.

I’m surprised it’s been popular.

i've read the books and loved it as a sci fi fan. however the first book is the weakest but the most important to establish its premise as a low sci fi story.
