I'm currently watching Shogun + . It's actually really good, but lots of it is in Japanese and subtitled.
Homocracy also told me I should continue watching 3 Body Problem even though I didn't really like all the changes they made.

Just watched it the other day. I haven't read the source material but the show was trash in my opinion. Instead of focusing on the interesting stuff (planning for an alien invasion 400 years in the future) they focus on a bunch of whining moralstrag foids and their beta orbitters that are supposed to be enlightened scientists but instead focus 99% of their brainpower on their relationships and crying about the poor. The 1% they have left is used to pretend popscience concepts from the 50s are their novel idea to defeat the aliens.

For realz? I've been on the fence about it, but if it's Hollywood moralizing, then I don't want to listen to it. They're awful at philosophical discourse.

The book has more hard boiled detective shit but is cringe then it goes off the rails into boring action cliches at the meeting thing.
I went into the book for the commie hate and weird mystery but it turned out to be gay atheist nonsense. Read jack Vance novels instead

I thought it was ok. Got better in the later episodes when it wasn't centered around the Jenna Ortega looking shit actor and her BBC. I also hated the deviations from the book until later on when you realize they pulled in a lot of characters from the second book to avoid having the second season be entirely new characters. A lot of it is setup for the second book which most agree is way better.

My hatred for the Japanese is a foundational character trait but even I have to admit that Shogun is good and cool.

That's a good thing, I hate shows settled in other countries where the characters magically speak English (all capeshit films where “ze germans” speak with cartoonish accents for instance), my only grip is that Portguese was replaced with English !macacos

With Shogun it's been refreshing to watch something that isn't interested in political messaging. I'd half expected them to inject something on the plight of a gay samurai but they've avoided it.

They pushed a lot more anti Catholic bigotry that wasn't present in the book or the 1980 mini series

Shogun is good. Three Body I think did decent with the source material being very... unfilmable.

Haven't read the book yet, but I thought the show was interesting enough.

Do I need to read all the 3 Body Problem books before I watch the show (which I have low hopes for)? Only read the first one so far, about to start the second

Only the first two thirds of the first book are worth reading anyway then it becomes nihilist atheist depression porn
