This TV series didn't receive high praise from Chinese audiences, especially for its poor 3D animation.

But I didn't expect you to like it so much.

The series has a deep Chinese cultural background, which may be difficult for foreign audiences to understand.

Yes animation was not up to the mark especially if compared to the netflix one. I think I read somewhere that season 2 will have better animation hence production taking long for season 2 but i really don't have credible information hence asking Chinese ppl.

Why I like the series because i love the book as i mentioned in my opening post and Chinese version was ditto adaption of the novel. Chinese cultural background was depicted in first few episodes only as illustrated in the novel as well.

This problem may not be resolved in the second season.

The production companies behind the first season of the Chinese TV adaptation of *The Three-Body Problem* were quite capable. CCTV and Tencent are both top-tier teams in China. They don't lack technical expertise. The real issue lies on another level: the ownership of the *Three-Body Problem* IP, "Three-Body Universe." This is the core issue that makes it difficult to successfully commercialize the *Three-Body Problem* IP.

In contrast, the commercialization of Liu Cixin's *The Wandering Earth* IP has been extremely successful.

I haven't read the novel *The Three-Body Problem*, I've only watched the TV series.

You should first read entire triology to understand the TV series or atleast the first novel to understand the 'problem'.

haha actually we still don't know what infinite here means hence as per our limited knowledge we are considering it as infinite.

Infinite for all intents and purposes with regards to the scales involved in our math. Not the actual universe. Approx. 2 trillion galaxies, 10^24 to 100^100 stars, times that by about 1.6 planets, so on and so forth...that's just in the observable universe.

In my personnel opinion even Quran hints about alien life so we just have to wait and wait until we have the tech to identify a habitual planet.

Where?

Now explain me why you consider life doesn't exist else where?

I don't, as I mentioned in my previous post.

 

[Salza]

Where?

There is an ayat in Quran which states that:

Translation of Verse 29 of Surah Ash-Shura

And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and all living beings(Daabah) He dispersed throughout both. And He is Most Capable of bringing all together whenever He wills.

Also there are many Islamic scholars who are believes that there are atleast 7 Earth like worlds having their own Prophets dispatched like on our planets.

In my personnel view some sort of complex life (animal) exists on many worlds but intelligent life (human alike) might be very rare.

 

[Salza]

Anyway coming back to the actual theme of this novel/series is that intelligent lives exists and more common then we think but at the same time all such intelligent beings on different worlds should be considered as hostile and its best not to contact them and reveal your location to them. This is one possible explanation for fermi paradox that if there is intelligent alien life in other stars systems, they are not willing to reveal themselves.

I love 3-body problem- thats all i gotta say
Eagerly waiting for the next season
1- GOT
2-3 body problems
3- Better Call Saul (more of an American show than an international one imo)
Right up there imo

If you’re a fan of the series. Just read the translated books, they are much more wild and expansive than the narrative you’ve seen thus far.

The original work is excellent, but the TV series adapted from it is poorly filmed.

I didn't expect anyone to like it, especially the historical trauma and collective memory it records, the unique values and philosophy of survival, the narrative structure and aesthetics, as well as the persistence in the regularity of history, all of which are closely related to Chinese culture, and readers from other countries may not easily understand it.

Netflix series is excellent because they realize that most people aren't interested in "too much" Chinese history and culture
There are references to it but it's not the whole show. It's made for international audiences
Just like Avatar anime show growing up it's Chinese but not really Chinese.

I have the physical book. Just haven't had a chance to read em yet
Maybe I'll get a Kindle version it's easier that way.

Brother, we can't take Ayaat as stand-alone and then guesstimate meanings based on our leanings. This Surah is countering the disbelief of the Pagans by pointing out His signs given to them. They could not see beyond the sky and the earth and hence the Quran is not pointing towards anything beyond that. Read it from the beginning, you'll see that there's no room for our interpretation. Never is with this Book.

The Quran isn't a book of mysticism with hidden cryptic meanings left for idiots like myself to decipher, or rather, mutilate. It states everything clearly, even the metaphors (Mutashabihat), which are given exactly because we cannot understand the reality of them, as per Itself.

Also there are many Islamic scholars who are believes that there are atleast 7 Earth like worlds having their own Prophets dispatched like on our planets.

There are others who believe them to be 7 dimensions or 7 parallel universes. Many more who believe that according to The Book, the Earth is flat and the center of the universe. Then there's the dead Prophets during the Meraaj in each of those skies. It's the external forced on to the Quran without justification or need. When this unwarranted superimposition fails, you leave Islam fending off a fight it never picked. Islamic Scholars should remain within their area of expertise. The 7 earths and 7 heavens is a Tashbih given exactly because we cannot understand their reality. Beyond that we do not and cannot know anything, except those of us who have actual knowledge of them, as per The Book itself.

Rivers of milk in Jannah. Will there be cow barns lined alongside the rivers or at the source? Will the milking be automated or will there be an army of hoorain? Pasteurized? Boiled? Will the river delta have fermenting cheese by then?

In my personnel view some sort of complex life (animal) exists on many worlds but intelligent life (human alike) might be very rare.

Maybe but the universe is too vast with too many throws of the dice over billions of years not to have gotten it right many times, relatively and IMO.
