You mean the guys who wrote complete schlock whenever they needed to fill in empty space that wasn’t covered in the source material?

At least three body problem is a finished book trilogy, so there’s hope.

Looks like they’re taking liberties with most of the characters. That’s probably fair. The characters were the weakest part of the books either way. Only Da Shi had redeeming quality in the first book, and it looks like they’re keeping him at least.
I love the book trilogy. I’m curious how they will manage to adapt it, especially the second and third books.

NoInterestingly, I think the source material is flawed in the same way as the GoT TV adaptation: it feels rushed, especially toward the end.
One thing that really bothered me about the books is:
spoiler
The entire plot hinges on FTL communication via quantum entanglement, which seems more fantasy than sci-fi to me.
Still, there are a lot of fun ideas in the books, so I’ll probably give it a chance.

I’m hopeful. It’s a good book series and D&D have proven themselves to be able to adapt material well. I don’t think they’ll get bored and trail off with only 3 books.
Plus Benedict Wong rules.
