Tencent just released an anniversary edition of the first season of their Three Body Problem series. It's cut to 26 episodes from the original 30 episodes. I've heard the editing is much improved.
I watched the netflix version. An utter mess. They removed all tension, suspense and fear that was key element of the books and Tencent show. They rushed it too much. Key characters like Ye Wenjie and Da Shi have lost all their essence. All the new western characters are of course really bad.
I atleast thought they will be good with the story telling part. But sadly no.

Netflix is already streaming the Judge Dee series from what I can see.
It's a bit confusing but what the Netflix series did is they already added the characters and parts from the second and third books of the trilogy.

I highly recommend the Three-Body series. In my opinion, the second and third books are among the greatest science fiction books of all time, and this is coming from someone who is familiar with the greatest works of Western literature.
Will give them a try after I've finished Ian M. Banks "The Algebraist".
I can second this, i really liked the third one the most, It such a wild ride.
The problem isn't that they move events around, relative to the books. The events that are happening do make sense from the chronology of the book. The problem is that they have added and broken apart characters and have outright changed character motivations. It's not even entirely the same story anymore.
So much has been lost, and what they've added back in doesn't make up for it.
What's the title?
Basically, Dark Forest invented 'deterrence in space'. It's really a simple concept, but I think it's something only some who is Chinese could think of, not because of Chinese culture, but more because of an intersection of Chinese historical experience (especially recently) and current Chinese scientific development.
