  • Understands comedy's best friend - logic

    So...turns out they DO still make 'em like they used to!

    The best kind of comedy is built on logic, systems that build on systems that produce hilarious convulutions and rube-goldberg machines, and that's why this magnificent Odyssey works - and keeps on working.

    Chaplin logic and physicality, Buster Keaton's 'flat world' where camera angles dictate reality, breaking the fourth wall just often enough to acknowledge it's inherent sillyness, and a compelling, rootable lead with a true character arc. On the budget it had, it's incredible what Hundreds of Beavers manages to accomplish without losing focus or overwhelming the viewer.

    An absolutely treat. I'm already looking forward to my next viewing of it.

  • Superior to the book

    The first Three Body Problem book is...well, not great. It's clunky and poorly paced in spots, exposition heavy, characterless, and sets up people and mysteries it doesn't even bother to resolve. What makes it work, though, is it's abundance of ideas and a compelling mystery. In short, its a worthy story in need of someone to tell it better.

    Well, this series gets it mostly right. The casting is fantastic (Da Shi is perfect, no wonder he is a fan favorite), main and peripheral characters are expanded and given depth & motivation, and giant world-changing moments are given time to sink in and feel weighty. You feel the oppressive atmosphere as the noose around the world tightens.

    To that last point, it does drag in places and sometimes feels like it is using filler to pad episodes. It also re-tells the same information over and over again that an audience already knows. Watching the series as a whole on Amazon made this really stick out, but I soon realized it's because this series was made to be newbie-friendly and consumed at a slower, old-fashioned pace. It gently fills in anyone who stumbled into a random episode and tries to invite them to keep watching, even though this comes at the expense of the modern, binge-watching experience the masses expect. It's meant to feel episodic and not like a 25 hour movie cut up into 45 min segments. They may have done this on purpose, but it does make for a frustrating watch sometimes and cost it a star in my book.

    Netflix has their work cut out for them if they think they can do this any better in just 8 episodes (this series does contain an intimidating 30) but it sucks you in, does the book justice and leaves you hungry for more. Despite my criticisms of the first book, I feel the complete opposite about the sequel The Dark Forest, and this sets it up perfectly and has me thrilled for what comes next.

  • Look, you're not wrong pointing out it's about autism and conformity. That's not the issue here.
