What’s something that you feel like you should like, but for some reason can’t get into, no matter how many chances you give it?
For me, it’s The Three Body Problem. It should be right up my alley from everything I’ve heard about it (especially the second book, which looks at the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter!), but for the life of me, I can’t get past the first chapter at all. I even tried reading it in another language to see if it was the translation that kept me from getting into it, and nope.
Yep. It was a disservice to the show. I have no idea why the first few episodes were designed to be so slow and dull. The rest are not like that. It makes me wonder if someone at the studio saw the dailies during S1 production and stepped in to make changes.
The recent Audiobooks versions are well done. The narrator does a great job of personifying the characters with the same traits as the TV actors.
