TV Shows - 3 Body Problem

So, once again, a new series. Since I've read the books by now, I think 3 Body Problem is a good choice. A quick warning: it’s hard to discuss without spoilers. If you want to enjoy the three books and the series without any spoilers, you might not want to read further.

This is a rewatch, so it's not exactly a first-time review, but that's common with my series reviews.

The first 10 minutes almost made me stop watching. I remember taking a break to check if the Cultural Revolution in China really happened. Sadly, it did!

I noticed that the cast is very diverse. It's somewhat like that in the book too, but not exactly the same as in the series.

A lot of elements from the three books are mixed together here. I didn’t know this the first time I watched it. But once you've read the books, it makes sense because a lot happens and it fits the timeline. However, the author uses a different storytelling structure (nonlinear narrative) in the book.

I liked the development a lot because, before the end of this episode, we see something incredibly fascinating. Sure, later they explain how it was done, and it’s not as fascinating anymore, BUT the explanation is mind-blowing.

It's the superlative that spans so much. Also, the game looks very different from the book’s description, but that's due to the time. The first book came out in 2012, and now, 10 years later, technology has advanced.

Otherwise, the first episode sets many points that will develop further in the first season. Mainly, the characters are introduced, presented, and shown in slight development or reaction to the events. I think it's a very good first episode; it’s very calm but has quite an impact.

There are many differences from the books, but also many similarities. This will be very exciting in the upcoming seasons because Netflix wants to cover all three books in three seasons. Why this will be very challenging and what will be left in or taken out, I'll discuss in later posts. It might happen, though I will try to avoid it, that I mix up the titles of the books or events a bit. This is because I am writing in English, but I watch everything in German and also read the books in German.

I mention this because the whole trilogy is called the Trisolaris Trilogy (Trisolaris-Trilogie) in German and Remembrance of Earth's Past in English, which is a much more fitting title considering the ending of the third book. Additionally, each of the books has its own name, which I hope will be reflected in the Netflix seasons. There is also a difference in the title of the third book, which is called Death's End in English and Beyond the Time (Jenseits der Zeit) in German.

TV Shows - CSI: Las Vegas X

I can now report that I have survived and completed the CSI: Las Vegas rewatch. I haven't watched the two new seasons yet because towards the end, it felt more like an obligation than actual enjoyment. I'll catch up on those when the third season is released.

What can I say? There were highs, there were lows, and in the end, there was even a tear when Nick puts his "solved" sign on his name. I think it's a nice ending because you know what the character will do in the future and feel he's in good hands. Now, one could say that it calls for a spin-off, but I don't think so. Sometimes you just have to let characters, especially such prominent ones like Nick, go.
