Hopefully this reaches your eyeballs before you've spent much time viewing this series. Stop. You're wasting your time. As someone who viewed both, I think the better version is the Chinese '3 Body'. You may find all 30 episodes of about 43 minutes each and w/ subtitles on youtube channel 咪咕官方频道 MiGu Official Channel. It remains much truer to the book than the Netflix adaptation. Why should you care? Do you prefer an original, visionary thinker-storyteller or that person's words re-imagined by a group of mediocrities who prioritise other self-serving agendas at the original's expense? There are creators and there are those who suck their existence off of the creators. If the latter were genuine creatives, they'd write their own stories of equal merit, wouldn't they? Even better is you needn't to wait a year or so for series 2 (and 3, 4, etc).

Highly anticipated. But a bore. Fell asleep during the first episode. Fingers crossed that future episodes improve, but so far a dismal effort by the show runner and writers.

Save yourself time, money, and disappointment. View the internet historian's expleened of this game. More entertaining and free.

The most interesting thing about the Barbie movie is Ken's bloodless revolt against the Longhouse. He is an exaggerated western man in the 21st century. Anxious, confused, chasing women who don't care about him. Ken starts off as the feminist's ideal man. A totally subservient man with a desire for Barbie that is not even sexual, it's just programming. He does not know why he wants to sleep over, he just knows it's something he should want. Ken is surrounded by other Kens. Kens, all of which have the same sole goal: get Barbie's attention. Like crabs in a bucket the Kens are constantly pulling each other down in an effort to impress her. An all too familiar sight. Ken exits the Longhouse and discovers his own will-to-power. Ken is immediately inspired by the achievements of the Faustian man. He develops a fascination with horses, high-intelligence professions, and feeling respected. Rather than stay in a world where men are obviously better off, Ken decides to return. Like a Prometheus, Ken brings the fire of will-to-power back to the other Kens. Men who he was competing with just days before, men who he was long pitted against in the longhouse. Ken brings these ideas back to Barbie Land and not only do the Kens love it, but the Barbies love it too. Genuine liberation. A free, complementarian society. Barbie Land was an oppressive matriarchy. Barbie returns and she discovers the only resistance to Ken is the weird, ugly Barbies and Alan, the androgynous Michael Cera. I think you already know who these people are in your reality. Ken's desire for Barbie brought him to the edge, but it was his desire to rise above the mass of Kens that pushed him to take the leap. When he landed he learned of a world better than his own, and rather than dream it, he shared the knowledge to change his reality forever. Ken doesn't just exit the longhouse, he returns to burn it down.

The first two episodes started the series strongly. Though one knows what will emerge, it was suspenseful, riveting, and scary. Well executed. The next few episodes were OK. For example, episode 3 was entertaining enough, but seemed to me to be an unnecessary diversion. But 6, 7, 8 were dire. Plodding, cliche ridden. The last episode was so-so. The show runner, writers, and directors lost the spark. I would have swapped the casting of Sarah and Ellie. Will I tune in for series two? I'll give the first episode a go to see whether or not it recaptures the magic.

This is a phenomenal film. A 48-day trek through raging rivers and over snow-covered mountains by 50k people and their 500k animals to attain grass - life for their flocks and herds and thus themselves. Bravery, ingenuity, and perseverance by all. Yo ali! Conquest. Count your blessings.

This is a newsdrama chock full of actual battle footage, so no romantic subplots... and no CGI. It doesn't get more real than this. Because it was shot and screened during the War, operations security had to be observed - for example, the carrier's name is never mentioned and personnel are codenamed. If you want a great review of it (though with spoilers), see youtuber Ward Carrol's 'The Purest, Most Badass Carrier Aviation Movie Ever'. He's a former naval aviator with an expert's eye and experience for such things.

Same old tired tropes. Spoilt by a lack of imagination. Acting was decent except for the VIPs, who it seems the casting director grabbed off the street. Cockamamie ending from the last half of the final episode.
