I saw some set in ancient China which seemed pretty cool. I'd love to find it and get some subtitles going.

One show had an evil character that was a woman with many lower ear piercings. Starting on her ear lobes, trailing up the edge of her ear. She seemed like a power hungry royal who'd slap and punish other women a lot. Really pretty show. Her looks and character's tendencies are why I remember it.

      You mean Three Body Problem? I saw the first 2 minutes and it looked like red scare propaganda. Depicting communists punishing people for believing in science and god.

        Did you watch the Netflix one or the Tencent one? The Tencent one is good while the Netflix one is god awful

          Saw the red scare one on Netflix. Does the Tencent one not have red scare?

            The Chinese version is a very close adaptation of the first book, very slow at times and the non-Chinese actors are hilarious but I enjoyed it as a fan of the series. The Netflix one is adapting the whole trilogy and is in English. I'm enjoying it but it's very different.
