Lots of big names behind this new Netflix series but we’ll see if that translates into a compelling cast with chemistry and a compelling story.

Thanks for the heads-up! Unfortunately, Rian Johnson is involved, so I hope the others can over power him and keep him from ruining it.

Looper and Brick weren't so bad, so there is some hope he won't. As for DB and Benioff... So long as there's material to write their scripts around, the show should be decent. They mostly run into problems once the book pages have run out.

The Three Body Problem series is among the best sci-fi I have ever read. Really looking forward to this.

I've never even heard of the books until I read the Variety article but I am definitely interested in watching the series.
