(Its actually why I made this question. Both the Netflix and Tencent versions were awesome in their own ways)
What is this from?
Three Body Problem, part of a Trilogy of Books called Rememberance of Earth's Past. Originally in Chinese, but translated to English, so the phrasing can seem a little "weird" since its the difference in language (according to reddit).
I haven't read it yet (because I have attention span issues), but I watched a Netflix Adaptation 3 Body Problem which would eventually cover the entire book series, with the Season One already out.
There's also a Tencent version of it called Three Body (三体) (in Mandarin) that coveres the entire first book, which I also watched and it feels slightly overdramatised so I kinda skipped a lot of it.
This is the exact scene from Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycs6JRx-pxk (minor Episode 1 spoilers)
Its an interesting world, and I'll probably have to read it since the text is just too different from any adaptations, and they're estimating season 2 and 3 of it being released in 2028 (I'm not gonna wait that long, I'm just gonna read it first).
I recommend the series, I'm currently on the third, listening to the audiobook (I don't think there's any downside to listening over reading if the text is translated)
I watched the Netflix show too beforehand, but I don't remember it that well. I think it was pretty faithful to the book, although it definitely left some things out.
