Pleasantly surprised to find Netflix made this science fiction into its series. I wasted no time and finished its first season, 8 episodes overnight.
The base of the original story lines of the book series remains intact but the key background location of where it's happening has changed from Beijing to London, and subsequently the characters as well, from mostly Chinese to a mix of different races living in UK. Understandable changes when considering its global target audience, but those changes confused me a lot at the beginning.
Whether you read the book or not, I would assume that you'll find it pretty entertaining overall. And if you find it difficult or too slow in the beginning, it gets better and clearer once you patiently bear through the first 3~4 episodes. Lastly, I believe Netflix should have made and released maybe about 4 episodes more for its initial season that would've covered the diabolical first battle.

Stopped watching for a moment after two episodes just to write this quick review. A fast paced, well scripted and wildly entertaining series with a wacky plot line. I hope it will feel just as funky and complete when I finish this binge.
Execute D&D, trash this whole season and remake it. Hire someone else to do it.
