3 Body Problem (2024)
Spoiled by Hollywood style casting
A series with lots of strengths a solid performances. Sticks reasonably close to the source material, not too significantly dumbed diwn. It is however utterly let down by some simply shocking casting choices. Most damagingly, Eiza González does not appear in a scene without acting as tho in a photoshoot for a fashion magazine cover. In every shot, even ones where she is portrayed as just waking up after a night binge drinking, she has supermodel, 2 hours worth of make up. The other characters continually comment "you are beautiful" to her, and she strikes another pose.
This shatters any willing suspicion of disbelief and spoils what otherwise would have been a decent series.
Watch the Chinese version instead. Sorry.

It's a bit like Star Wars
But with a massive alligator. The dialogue is almost unintelligible from two of the characters, but it's filmed well and if you like Asylum movies you will enjoy it.
As an aside, the Jaws storyline, regarding not putting off the tourists, is pretty moving.
The false ending worked to keep the excitement going, but I stopped understanding what was happening. You may need to watch this one more than once to get all of the subtle elements. I really hope they make a follow up to this one, as there is definitely a lot more that can be done with this storyline.
One note - see if you can spot the actors from Game of Thrones.
