    It’s good, but literally every major and minor plot point is going to get smashed into your head over and over again with obvious foreshadowing.

    Really interesting story, and I’ll probably read all the books before season 2 comes out then (hopefully) keep enjoying the show.

    The same guys who did GoT are making this. They do really well at taking in depth high quality books, and then dumbing it down and stripping everything that isn’t plot relevant out.

    So anything they’re involved in, it’s usually best to read the books first.

    Silo would be an example of the opposite. The show changes the order information is presented and fleshes it out more than the books in some ways. The two compliment each other.

    DB and Dan (or whatever their names are) basically just do AV book reports with insane budgets. As long as they don’t run out of source material again, the show is pretty good.

    They often take out good stuff though. Like in the books there’s a chapter that touches on The Mountain having CTE and insane migraines, which causes his hyper aggressive behavior. He’s pure evil, and a literal giant piece of shit. But there’s a reason that explains it without excusing it.

    I feel like most of the characters in 3 body problem are like that, and knowing that extra info would make the show better.
