I’m excited too. I literally just started on the books yesterday after I’d started to watch Three Body on prime video but that one got pulled suddenly? Dunno what the deal is on that.
It’s on youtube in full (with subs, legitly, from Tencent) if you want to keep watching it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMX26aiIvX5rFSYPXtcqda3tWd6pGVD5Q
For anyone who doesn’t know, there’s a Chinese Tencent adaptation (wikipedia) which originally aired January 2023, is not the same as the Netflix adaptation which is not yet released.
The Tencent adaptation is 30 episodes and currently available in full
in 1080pin 4K! with english subtitles from Tencent on their yt page:I’m about halfway through the Tencent adaptation and I think its accurate to the source material and accurately capturing the mood well, however:
I think I only recommend it if you’re a fan of the book because its not disappointing from that perspective really, but maybe the Netflix version will be comparably faithful while being structured a bit differently or having better storytelling. I look forward to comparing them.
Sweet I’ve not sailed the seas for a long time so I hadnt bothered trying to look it up nor did I expect it to just be on YouTube so thanks!
