I like how they explained why they approached the storytelling the way they did - from what I read about the Tencent version, it was almost verbatim (pedantic) by the book and doesn't really grip you from the start like this series did. Show, not tell - that is how great directors/writers do for the visual medium.
Excellent podcast. Bringing so much background to the scenes in ep1, especially the cultural revolution in China. Hard to find any developed countries that didn’t go thru hard times.
If the forests in China being lost makes you angry. Go check out what is happening in Brazil today with the amazon forest, classified as the lungs of the planet. Romania , the lungs of Europe
Yep 😣💔🌳 Entire football fields worth of land & forest being destroyed, and left barren EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's a massacre. And it's no wonder every year things get hotter & hotter around the globe. We're slowly killing ourselves. But industries don't care. All of the wealthy are working on ways to leave the planet to head elsewhere, after they have completed stripped THIS planet of all its resources. Greed is catastrophic & deadly.
the lungs of europe because we here in England got rid of our forests many centuries ago and still don't care to rectify that, just build on what's left of it.
There's a substantial disagreement with Jung Chang here. Liu Shaoqui can be blamed in many more ways for the starvation, as he was the president and Mao was stripped of most of his powers, which is why he needed the Cultural Revolution to make a power grab. There were valid reasons for the revolution against the government, but sadly, it was mishandled. Whether Mao was inept or power-hungry doesn't change the outcome. Mao was so stripped of his powers that he felt envious of people like Stalin, even calling himself a living corpse waiting for his own funeral. The issue wasn't just Mao; it was the entire communist government at the time. They weren't against him in terms of policy; they simply wanted to remain in power and push him out. I would be hard pressed to find a "good " side in the period.
Thanks for this amazing podcast. Really gave me insights about the cultural revolution and how the show runners teases us for a "red wedding" in season 2 🎉. When's episode 2 of podcast?
OMG!!! What a fucking Banger!!! We Are Bugs!? Game changer. Onward to the Forrest.❤❤❤❤ Didn't expect to be entertained/flawed so thoroughly, but Jesus, Great job!!
They can't lie because once two or more are near one another they automatically share their intentions and feelings. So lying is a concept that took them a while to understand. Also the one that told them not to respond was alone and away from the rest of the species for a while. It covers that in the first book. Maybe they will elaborate more later on in the show. That's why that one was thinking independently.
Yeah it was only Mao who did timber and resource extraction. Did these people forget that the book is not written about China but global industry ? Kuomintang wasn't exactly sparing the environment in China or Taiwan where they fled to
Because we ended up with lots of widespread violence and death. Disembowelments, beheading, drowning, stoning, cannibalism, explosives. I wish the series would show what really happened back then.
it's to bad they had to bundle this complex series into 8 episodes for one book and even using parts of book two. if they would have gone into it I bet it would have made science a lot more cool for the next generation.🙂
I need more seasons!! OMG, Its a HIT already
Not getting a season 2 would be like if dune part 2 didn’t come out. That’s when the series gets amazing!!
book one is basically the longest prologue ever written 🙂

Season 1 they have laid all the ground work. We are ready for the mind bending magic in season 2 ☺️🙌🏻
Jason? Man you’ve been hitting it out the park again and again as one of the best interviewers in any media. Well done. Bravo.
Please Netflix you better do another season of 3bodyproblem or I will never use your service ever again.

Jason Concepcion can podcast with anyone and they'd have great chemistry

@@jorgepeterbarton I mean we have descriptions of the early people here in Europe describing the whole place as an endless forest
@@jorgepeterbarton In my country outside of the cities we have abandoned fields that aren't even used for crops now...

Such a great season 1, let’s hope Netflix don’t chop a second season

My favorite sci-fi series. The book was terrifying on a deep existential level.
This freaking show blew my mind
The Great PJ Never Disappoints
Awesome talk. Thank you
Sweet more 3 body content

Oh thank you.
Omg I love this.
😎👍❕️
Good stuff...
Obsessed
First to be here!!! 😁
We need trixie and katya react to 3 body

the host is talking so fast, it’s exhausting to listen to 😢
😊
Curious why the famous CR slogan "要文斗不要武斗" was not included in the show and this podcast.
Because we ended up with lots of widespread violence and death. Disembowelments, beheading, drowning, stoning, cannibalism, explosives. I wish the series would show what really happened back then.
It should've been Multiple Body Problem. But that's up to creators to decide, not me.
It's a real scientific term.
As soon as the three stooges can in talking about match maker I logged off
