    The original 32 episode Chinese version was very good.

    This is definitely an Americanized take. Far fewer episodes and a more condensed plot. A ton of American actors to replace the original heavily Chinese cast. A decidedly different tone, going from more scientific mystery to action thriller.

    I guess we'll see

      Is there a playlist of the Chinese series on YouTube like there is for other ones? I save them to work on my Chinese listening from time to time.

        Is this the correct one?

        Also searching "Three-body" helps to narrow down your search for the Chinese series

          This is probably the best free playlist. They used to have it in 4k on youtube too, but looks like they took down all but the first two episodes recently to try and get people to use their app. It's also on Amazon streaming.

          I really enjoyed it. Kinda slow at times but the actors for Da Shi and young Ye Wenjie are fantastic.
