    I like how the shows main characters are British, and the main location is in Britain… but apparently people are unhappy it’s been Americanized. Are there any scenes that even take place in the US? I think there’s only one American character.

    The show is really good, it would have been cool to see more things in the universe like he planned to do.

    Woah what the hell, I had no idea. That’s really… unfortunate. I’ve heard it’s a good series, it’s a shame he didn’t even get to see its release.

        I’ve read and enjoyed the first book, but I didn’t realize the series apparently covers all 3, so now I gotta get through the rest before I jump in. Definitely looking forward to it, though.

          If you are referring to the Netflix series, it doesn’t. That’s only covering the first book. There is a Chinese series though (30 episodes) that might; I haven’t watched it.

            Hold up… Have I been deceived? >.> Thanks for letting me know! In that case, I’ll absolutely be watching it.

            Part of the plot is from the third book:

            The part where they send that guys brain into space

            The Netflix show is covering all three books, what are you talking about? Season one is the first book.

        The Chinese series is much much better though. 8 episodes is way too short and its been dumbed down a lot. Plus setting in Oxford??

          The Tencent show wasn’t great either. Sure, it’s very loyal to the first book, but it has no pacing at all. Just a constant slog to watch without any lows or highs. The VR scenes were very cool however.

    Funny how the Chinese govt says the show has been “Americanized” when the US gov has basically no say over what Netflix releases.

    Imagine going through all the effort of ordering and testing poisons, and the best method of delivery you can come up with is personally offering the target this cool new probiotic pill, and also showing and offering it to multiple other people in the office so everyone gets sick and knows it was what you gave them.

    Bro should’ve watched better call Saul first.
