Maybe expectations were too high? I thought it followed book 1 pretty closely. As book-movie translation go. I thought the choices they made in 3-Body were better than the tradeoffs in Dune 2. But I liked Dune 2 as a movie, but leaving out the Spacing Guild, and how the Water of Life can poison Sand Worms, and they change to the Atomics. It changed entire dynamic on the stand off with Emperor. And leaving out Alia. The only problem with 3-Body, is for season 1, they did stuff too much into it from Book 2, not that it was bad to do it, but maybe needed 1-2 more episodes, instead if felt rushed.
