Really? I found it succumbed to the standard adaptation failure: fit as many plot points from the book into one season in cut-and-paste fashion, and link them together with some powerful overacting designed to direct the audience to the proper emotion. Three Body is failing the same way. A good adaptation needs a talented screenwriter, which is as hard to find as a good author.
- myko 3y agoMy only complaint about Silo's adaptation is that it leaves so many things mysterious for so long, things that the books make clear in the earliest chapters. Also, the entire season is roughly half of book 1, so I'm concerned it will be canceled before it gets through the entire series.
- politelemon 3y agoPerhaps they didn't finish the title. Great sci-fi literature that's been run into trite mediocrity.
