First off, this is a really good piece of TV Sci-Fi. I've read the trilogy, including the first book twice, and I was very satisfied with what they did. Frankly, given the scope of the first book, I'm surprised they were willing to take it on. I agree with the guys who said some of the character changes were detriments, but I just think they did the best they could when you have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
I'm frantic to encourage people to see the show because, like many of the other people who've read the trilogy, as good as the first book is, the second is even better, maybe even way better. I've been reading sci-fi my whole life and the second book is the only sci-fi book I've ever read that made me change my view on a major topic (and, no, I'm not going to tell you what it is). And the special effects in the second book are even crazier than the first. So, please, please, please, watch the show and get the second season made.
I genuinely think many, if not most, of the reviews at 5 or below are paid for by the Chinese government. There's just no way you can give this show only four stars. As you know, there is a 30-part Chinese version and people are running this down to get eyeballs on the Chinese version. I haven't seen it, suspect it is definitely ok, but can't imagine they equal the special effects in the Netflix version.
So, see this and have your friends see it so we can see the second season!
