Characters in Tencent version talk and act like scientist. You can't say same things about Netflix, characters talk like they are freshman college students. They are too casual.

I enjoyed the Tencent version much more. Especially because it is much more into the philosophy and the hard science part and also it allows for much more character development instead of the more superficial, accomodating, "run of the mill" character interactions.

I've not read the books, but I watched the Tencent version when it came out last year. I was totally engrossed and my mind was blown because of that existential dread, as well as because of intellectual and philosophical concepts that were being presented. I didn't find it slow because I wanted to engage with those concepts and maybe because I was watching it as it was being released (1 episode a day instead of binge-watching), I found it perfectly fine. It's such a slow burn that when big moments happen - such as the countdown or the universe flicker, or Ye Wenjie's backstory, etc, it is that more intense. There's a slow buildup and a release. The Netflix version goes too fast, doesn't engage with the intellectual, philosophical elements I found so fascinating about the Tencent series. It also just simplifies the show into grand moments from the story - be it the countdown in Auggie's eyes, or Judgement Day. Ultimately I felt rather empty after watching the Netflix version but I still want to engage with the concepts presented in the Tencent version (even after a year). Plus, I want to read the books.

I have watched both. Tencent version has more depth, the pace is slow but much more engrossing, the actors/actresses portraying the main characters amazing. The nexflix version is shallow, spoon feeding the audience, the Oxford 5 characters wooden, their romance boring. But above all I hate the way Netflix has butchered ye wenjie character

Netflix version might look more high quality, but I actually think the Tencent version looks better, more satisfying and stylish.

I liked the tencent version. I think you can understand the whole universe of the book better watching the tencent version

I way prefer the Chinese version, though it has a pretty serious length problem. The Chinese version has way, waaaay better character building, character relations and depth of dialogue. There's no comparison. Most of the Netflix characters act and sound like teenagers. The Chinese version is also non preachy - very fresh to watch when tired of woke Western media. They do tackle some issues, but in an open ended fashion that makes you think, without lecturing you. Which is actually how mature people that have seen a thing or two talk, not with the brash certainty of teenagers. On the other hand, the Chinese version has a lot of unnecessary scenes, fillers, to the point where it becomes boring, as well as some scenes that seem more out of a cartoon. The cartoonish parts are not that long and they are not bothersome, especially if you have watched Chinese series before - you know they're gonna have some of that. And it's counter balanced by the depth in other parts. But the fillers create a serious pacing problem.

i really like the tencent version for the slow insanity the character going through, and desperate attempt on the game to solve the 3 body problem and in the end its unsolveable

I enjoyed the Netflix version overall, but it didn’t build up Ye Wenjie’s character complicity. In the book, when Ye finally left red cliff, during her teaching years she was invited by the locals and this changed her a bit, and she deeply still want to do good by humans. I didn’t have this feeling with the Netflix version but felt that she was almost pure evil.

For me, the Tencent adaptation is better than Netflix in almost all ways. It just comnects you mjch better with every character.
Netflix version of course adds the the high quality VFX but the Tencent's are not half bad, and adding book 2 also within the first season is really brave of them.
Patiently waiting for Tencent to release the next season.

I just finished the Netflix adaption and I started watching the Chinese adaption series on Prime, today. I didn't know there was a Chinese adaption until I came across this video. Thanks to the content creator of this video.

The CGI in the VR game of Tencent is supposed to look like a VR game, so that's ok by me. This is the case in the books too, you read about how detailed the game world is, but not how realistic everything looks and feels and smells. The Tencent version also really nailed it when it comes to the vibe, scope and choreography of what goes on in the game. All the disastrous ways the stable eras end, the living giant computer made up, all were so much more stunning.

With that kind of budget, Netflix could have build a particle accelerator themselves. This is insane levels of spending.

After reading The Three Body Problem book and watching the Tencent version I found the Netflix version extremely confusing and hard to follow due to the character changes, rearranged timeline, and omission or underdevelopment of key concepts and characters. I did enjoy the production quality of the Netflix version but I found it hard to care about, putting it nicely, several of the new characters.

I think Tencent one is also excellent if you don't like reading but still want the book experience with all the plot points and the stories in depth

After watching Netflix version I want to rewatch Tencent version as a superior one

Pacing presents the primary challenge for both series. The Tencent 30-episode arc tends to dwell on repetitive scenes, necessitating the removal of certain elements like the news reporter character. On the flip side, Netflix's rendition, while commendable in many aspects, rushes through book one and prematurely introduces elements from books two and three in the finale. This breakneck speed causes Netflix to overlook the intricacies of the ETO and its various factions. It remains uncertain whether these elements will be explored in the next season should Netflix decide to greenlight it. Despite these differences, I appreciate both shows for their unique contributions.

Thanks to the Netflix version, the Tencent version has seen a surge in popularity. That's one good thing that's come from it.
