The usual British TV bollocks
This is nicely produced and acted but apparently having the protagonist be an Asian man wasn’t diverse enough so that character has been split into a group of five people two women, a black guy, and two white guys. The women are constantly besting every guy in the show and we are constantly reminded of how brilliant they are. The white guys are cast as hopeless losers (sorry Samwell Tarley but true) who are lucky to be in the company of their better friends. Thank you British television.

3 Body Woke
I heard good things about this, especially the opening scene about the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Red Guards, murder and mayhem. A cautionary tale for our times. Imagine then only to discover the show is chock full of identity politics and DIE casting. Its so bad at first I thought it was a satire. If you like your Sci Fi apolitical, avoid this shite.

Bland, bleak and poorly written
Brought to you by the lame writers of the last two seasons of Game of Thrones, with a woke twist. The world top scientists talk to each other and their bosses with cussing in every second or third sentence. The two white male scientists are losers, cringy dialogues and unlikable characters. One good episode and a couple of interesting characters, the cop and Ye Wenjie. All the chinese period scenes were strong, probably because they were based on the novel. Skip this one for sure.

DEI casting of a good Sci-Fi story
I just finished Season One. The core of this story is true science fiction. The story from the book is conveyed as well as can be expected. The previous reviews are accurate in the matters of DEI. There was an obligatory homosexual added. One of the main characters was changed from a male director of a research facility to a strong female corporate director. The strongest, moral-based leaders are minorities while the foolish and morally deprived characters are white male. The author is a bit of an enigma. It's true that he's a Chinese communist. In an interview, he said that democracy won't work in modern day China. He also criticized the Communist Party in some of his works. He also seems to be an advocate for one-world government. That theme runs through a few if his books, including this one. He also expressed that he avoids talking politics. Meanwhile, his works shout politics. Not necessarily in advocacy one way or another. That said, the story does come through. This is about contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The initial, light-speed, communications and development of real-time communication are on-par with physics theory. That is, the parity of particle spin not being subject to distance. Therefore, real-time communication across unlimited distance is theoretically possible. The book delves heavily into high level dimensional theory. That part didn't come through in the movie all that well. The acting and special effects are good. The brutal attack at the Panama Canal was very graphic in the movie. This is good science fiction if you can wade through the obligatory woke casting.
