So finished 3 body problem.
Essentially a sci fi series, linking maths, cosmology and aliens.
Haven't seen the Chinese version, nor read the translated books. Most of the criticism revolves around the portrayal of China during the Mao era and secondly the globalisation of Chinese characters. Namely now largely set in Britain, with still a chinese connection and characters and also with an American, Englishman, a kiwi, and Eliza Gonzalez ...
Does have the GOT writers attached and Alexander Woo as well as Brad Pitts production company, with Rosamind Pike amongst the production company. So a bit of money involved in thisDespite the criticism, a good effort for reaching a global audience, I thought it was a very good watch and look forward to where this takes us when it comes to the next two books.

It’s very obvious once you hear each character speak

Pay attention you pair of pillocks……
Yes it is, get amongst it ! Great show !
( even if the premise is way too high brow for the likes of me )
Fuck me. I would but is it 3 Bodies or Shogun? And don't say yes.

I was about to ask in here if the actress was a Kiwi after watching first episode - trying to avoid seeing spoilers on the web by searching the cast list. The almost spoiled it on here myself.

7 episodes in on 3 Body Problem…….
Liam Cunningham is awesome in everything he does, makes every role very compellingI’m glad Samwell/Jack bagged it when he did, did the chick who killed him have some amazing abilities or was he just a pussy ? Also how did the cop not see it all happening ?
The Boat scene was ruthless as fuck, will definitely need repeat viewings I think. Destined to be one of those ones you look up on Youtube for years to come.
Augie is hot. Even when chundering.
The chick who killed Sam is arguably even hotter.
For a dumb fluffybunny like me the whole explanation of stuff is actually relatively straightforward ie they’re way more advanced than we are but will still take ages to get to earth
I’m glad they explained that kiwi chick actually is a kiwi and it’s not just lazy acting with the accent.
Good old Easter, no excuse not to wrap it up this weekend and see what happens !!!!!

Finished Constellation that follows 2 astronauts who have returned following a traumatic re-entry to earth and the mysterious changes to thier lives after they return
Bit of a slow burn, certainly enough to keep interested and is one you need to watch properly.
the parallel timelines aspect does mean you need to be watching carefully especially with Bud alive in both of them -

3 episodes in and liking it. A bit different and great to see a minimum of stereotypical characters.

Fool Me Once. Nice premise but just a bit too messy to be a great series.
But Adeel Akhtar was outstanding and has to be one the best TV actors out there - extraordinary performance

His character irked me.
Agree about the show though, got silly at the end.
Michelle Keegan is HAF too

2 seasons of excellence
Watch it

It's not very subtle. The car chase and the helicopter chase had me pulling my hair out. In fact they weren't chases, they were tailing, but they resembled a road rager wanting to tail gate some schmuck.
In fact, The car 'chase' is a poster child for the 'shit women drivers' theory.

@MajorRage yeah enjoyed MMS, wasn't exactly must watch in the end and kinda just felt like a slight remake of the movie. Feels like it's one and done too...
we started it over the weekend and really enjoyed it, some funny bits, some action, we're not spoon fed (just have to assume they received some training)
what interesting as theyve done away with the big thing from the movie in they didn't know each other were spies (thats right isn't it?)....so its just husband and wife that are spies together
