Season 2 please. Netflix needs to give this rare script a second season to grow its fanbase, not just looking at immediate views in 2 weeks. It can never be as easy to digest as Stranger Things or Wednesday, but the producer has a correct plan that is working. Season 2 will get to the best part which is the dark forest theory and Netflix needs to see the clear potential, it can reach the size of Black Mirror.

Liam OWNED the final half of the season

That shot of the paper chain the kids made was chilling, great way to show the kids dying rather than put it in our face

no offense but netflix horrible job at promoting this show. it deserved better promotion that it got.

The Judgment Day scene was astonishing, among the most impressively executed horror sequences I've seen. Also, as someone who had to look away at a couple of parts because I didn't want nightmares, I appreciated the slow build-up to people getting cut down, because it gave me due warning to look away at the right moment, while still enjoying the creeping horror of the visuals leading up to it, the practical effects the director talked about make the sequence work so well!

That judgement day scene really shows the power of technology, it’s a very Oppenheimer moment when you realize you have created something truly horrific. If that tech truly existed… it would be just as game changing as the invention of gun powder.

OMFG WE THOUGHT WE WERE DOING THE FIRST EPISODE ONLY but NOW 8 hours later WE ONLY JUST FINISH THE WHOLE SERIES BINGE ! WE'RE SO HOOKED it's clever it's brutal it's honest WE WANT 3 BODY ii & iii SOON WE WANT IT NOW it's THAT GOOD !!!!!! 🤣😍🤣

You can throw the driest thing in the universe and Benedict Wong and Liam Cunningham will instantly bring - or rehydrate - it to life. Love, love these two fine actors.

Sophon unfolding scenes were mental

Take it from HARD CORE fan of the books. You did great. Really great.

That was one of the most epic and horrifying scenes I've ever seen on screen. It was Ghost Ship times 1000. So glad this series didn't disappoint.

This episode! 🤯

Marlo Kelly was such a scene-stealer in the short-lived cheerleader series Dare Me, and she does just as well as Tatiana.

The irony for Auggie as a scientist: the first time her invention was applied in real life, it was being utilized as a mass killing machine...

Had to scrape my jaw off the floor after watching this episode. It just keeps going and going and going and going. Absolutely off the deep end. Loved it.

This series is an incredible storytelling achievement. It takes you on an amazing journey that stays true to its original story. More than just an adaptation, it deeply explores what the future could hold, including the chance of meeting beings from other planets. It asks big questions about whether we should try to contact aliens and what we need to think about if we do. The series also brings a unique kind of fear, not from scary things but from the huge, mysterious universe around us. This fear, mixed with wonder and the unknown, makes the show more than just entertaining-it's a thought-provoking look at what lies beyond our world and how we fit into the vastness of space.

Holy shit this episode was amazing! One of the best episode of television I’ve seen in recent years.

My favorite episode for sure! Cant wait to see that one scene from Dark Forest in season 2. If you know, you know.

This episode was the best the show had

The eye in the sky is brilliant idea, remind me of the Sauron from the Load of the Ring; I think this change is great for wester viewers to understand the "bad" side represetation.

Nanofiber tech is truly horrifying, and that sequence. The children...

I find it funny that Thomas Wade is my favorite character of the show so far. The man seems to be the only one who really grasps the gravity of the situation facing the world and always seems like he's thinking in terms of what's to come centuries down the line. Not just the centuries leading up to the arrival of the San-Ti/Trisolarians but what happens after.

We need season 2. I can’t wait to see how you guys explain dark forest theory.

The ship scene makes the Red Wedding look like a tea party.

Liam Cuningham is the best part of this show.

I NEED A SEASON 2 NOWWWW NETFLIX DONT SLEEP ON THIS

Please renew for seasons 2 & 3. This show is definitely in the top 10 of TV ever made.

The books are dark, scenes like this is a must

Episode 5 reminded me a lot of the Red Wedding in Game Of Thrones. Not a surprise given that it’s made by some of the same people.

I am a normal person and have definitely laughed and cried at the same time. It tends to happen in extreme grief.

This is my favorite episode

This show was AMAZING!!!

Can’t wait for season 2 with more cool epic scenes

You did a good job at adapting! I am really hooked and as a fan of the books I think you blended well the book material with the show. The score reminds me of Westworld in a way but more exciting haha Also i don´t know if it was a coincidence or it was a link to GoT but the parallels between leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe with if one of us survives, we all survive was amazing! I am hyped for a second season.

Amazing episode! All of the cast are incredible performers.

Great episode. Great way to introduce the concept of the 10 dimensions the universe originally had before life started destroying them. Looking forward to the scene from Death's End from the entity that enjoys to "foil" things while singing.

As someone who read the books, I am impressed with the adaptation. Some of the main story beats are there and I was very happy to see it come to screen

Favorite episode

Didn't think they would try the Judgement Day scene but they did it the optics were insane

"You are bugs" on screens was a brilliant idea. Much better than floating text in people's vision. Even the countdown should have been done like this. It would have seemed more plausible. The blinking sky could also would have been flickering electricity and electronic devices across the whole world - just as epic and terrifying but more plausible. D&D once again proved they are great at adapting written material for the screen, as terrible as they are when working without source material.

I really like this show and that judgement day scene is one of the best i have ever seen on screen. Good Job by the entire team.

As a fan of the original, there are a number of change that I don't agree with, but I think this episode is passable. GJ!

Cruise sequence is terribly gruesome. This series had some mind-twinning scientifical theories. Nano -fibre technology, Sophon and Trisolarians! Uff! So intrigued and we want DARK FOREST!

this episode was horrific, DO IT AGAIN

i love this showww and im sad that i have to wait for season 2

The ship scene was really cool but it was sort of insane how only a single character was really bothered at all by the brutal indiscriminate dismemberment of hundreds of men women children old people lol

we want season 2

We need Kublai Khan back!!

This episode had me shook

Great show

It would have been apt to have the Alan Parsons Project in the background during the Eye in the Sky scene.

Watched the whole of season 1. Hope they get a thumbs up for S2.

I am enjoying this series very much. Great cast, well-directed, looks great.

Wait of the season 2❤🎉

Anyone else get Ghost Ship vibes? thats all i could think of watching the judgment scene, exactly like the scene in ghost ship, everyone cut in half on a large ship, not knowing whats happening.

Stop to make those appetizing "go inside episode" series! Go make Season 2 and Season 3 NOW, please!!! We really want to be able to watch those SO BADLY!

I found the idea of using two pairs of entangled particles as a way of communicating from the trisolarans to the sophons to be be a very weak scifi concept. In quantum networking it takes two pairs of entangled particles to transmit only a single bit of information. And once the bit is sent by performing a measurement the wavefunctions of the particle collapse and they cannot be reused to send another bit. In order to send another bit the trisolarians would need to send two more halves of two more entangled pairs in order for another bit to be sent. This would be very slow. The concept in the book completely misunderstands the nature of quantum entanglement. Now, if they were to send billions of entangled particles from the start, that would work very well. And they wouldn't even have to be sophons. They could send unentangled sophons first and then send the billions of normal entangled particles and then have the sophons use this particles as a quantum network. Of course, this would require the trisolarians to have a way of keeping the entangled particles from unentangling along the long journey, which the particles really want to do, and quickly. But that is not theoretically impossible, just extremely difficult. But I did like the idea of expanding the space in the hidden, wrapped up dimensions of the sophon particle. I thought this was a very clever idea.

I agree with others the marketing was almost nonexistent. First heard about this last year then nothing until i saw it when i logged into netflix and saw it. Wouldn’t have any idea what it was if i wasn’t into science fiction.

Can someone explain me, why they decided to destroy the Judgement Day on this way? They should infiltrate it instead in my opinion to decrease the casualities.

Benedict Wong's character got the same wibe as Wong from MCU and I love it

The tropes though 🙄. Highjacking all the screens to demonstrate control has been done a million times. And the ship-shredder sequence brought too many early 2000s horror movies to mind, not least of all being Ghost Ship.

4:58 just film a bunch of people around the world getting shocked, slouching and touching their eyes and show a couple pov's of the sophon message. Easy.

Wade IS THE GOOD GUY that does bad things SO I DONT HAVE TO. Like Jack Bauer from '24'

But how again did they manage this tech if they have to start anew and anew?

Judgment day = Red wedding

Thomas Wade did nothing wrong 🤷‍♂️

Seeing DnD again is giving me GoT flashbacks.

Dani kind of forgot about the Trisolaran fleet.

He 219 uhu Corsair

The one thing I would say is missing is a strong younger cis Chinese decent male lead. At least there is Benedict Wong who is my hero. If he or someone like him wasn’t playing that role this show wouldn’t be worth watching for me.

Why wouldn’t the crew of the ship look down the canal on such a nice, clear day and immediately see (2) steel girders jutting up out of for no reason? Like it’s big expensive set piece and it’s supposed to impose the moral uncertainty of the military, but send in a 2-person infiltration team, nab the drive, and bail out in open water to be retrieved via beacon

Slicing up kids, is this in the books ? I'm sorry i don't think morality would really go out the window like that.

👎

The show’s addicting but the writing is laughably bad at times. Could have cut a few characters too. Apple TV+ owns the sci fi area with the effects and production value, Netflix not so much

This series is not for regular audiences as most of them will instantly get bored of it. Kudos to their efforts tho. For not adding unnecessarily woke elements. 😅

This show is an utter pile of crap. Boring as hell, dull characters with an implausible course of actions, stupid plot full of holes. Slicing the ship with nanofibers and hoping it won’t slice the recording. Aliens managed to send VR headset to Earth but it will take them 400 years to (allegedly) conquer it. And I spent 8 hrs of my life giving you the chance and not quitting after the first two episodes. Guys, after you massacred GoT and turnd it into GoY (Game of Yawns) in the Season 7 and 8 you shouldn’t be doing any show anymore. Save all of us.

This series is beyond stupid. It's worse than Season 8. I had to bail after two episodes. It's really really THAT bad!

I saw David Benioff and Daniel Weiss and I IMMEDIATELY lost all interest in this show, even if I liked the books. I'm not gonna waste my time with anything they touch every again

They kinda forgot about the iron fleet though.
