Still re 3-Body Problem, the demo of wonky physics is far better in the Chinese version.

And in fact it's the original, from the book.  Re-reading the first volume, I can see that the NF version strips out almost all the [astro]physics and concentrates on personal relationships and a few gory bits to titillate the punters.

I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

I've been chugging my way through the Chinese series.  It's a *lot* more faithful to the book, to the point of being set in 2007 (Windows Vista and all),

I was curious to see how the Cultural Revolution would be portrayed...

You've got to change mental gear to "Chinese TV series", which took me the first couple of episodes.  Mostly in terms of over-acting and use of music, though the portrayal of westerners is always amusing.  It's somewhere between Anime and Korean Action Movie with just a hint of Bollywood.

Shōgun, on Disney. It is really very good, so far. Planning to binge the rest of it over the next few evenongs.
