From the creators of Game of Thrones comes a stunning new blockbuster series unlike anything you’ve seen before. This is your first look at 3 Body Problem.SU...

The whitewashing discourse is gonna be good, but I'm mostly wondering how they're gonna fit Sophon in so early.

I'ma still watch this garbage.

    I didn't read it because I don't like grimdark Sci-Fi.

    "Everything is terrible and shit and out to eat you all of the time and life itself is a constant pointless and shitty struggle" is a tired overused trope in both the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genre.

    I want more shit like The Culture series.

      You might love the Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin. It's about a world where "Everything is terrible and shit and out to eat you all of the time", for reasons that seem natural, until we meet characters who recognize that it's not, or doesn't have to be. It's about major attempts to fix a broken world. It's also about motherhood. And earthbending. Even the trope of genetically inhereted superpowers gets flipped on its head. It's very good.

      Edit: it's also very sexy at times. And there's at least two trans characters, one of whom plays a pretty major role in the story.
