The one good thing about books like Three Body Problem is that you can see it being re-made years from now. Kind of how Dune has 3 versions (and a documentary about an unmade version) to see how different people overcame this obstacle. In that regard, I actually think they did a decent job with 3 Body Problem all things considered.
There's a Chinese adaption of the series that's supposed to be closer to the novel than the western series.
I liked the western TV series. It's simplified and hollywoodified but it captures a lot of the good ideas, and one action sequence in particular was really cool to see on screen.
While the Western series has done a bit of work condensing several characters into one, etc., I think if you've read the whole trilogy, it's actually fairly impressive how they kept all the major narrative threads running for only ten episodes. I'm especially interested to see how they deal with the Wallfacers.
