I heard it’s cool sci-fi with some connections to the cultural revolution in China. Is it rabidly anti communist or actually kinda based? I love some good sci-fi so I might watch it either way, but I prefer space communism ideally
The first few episodes have some cringe depictions of the cultural revolution but that’s mostly just to establish one character. Afterwards its mostly just cool space opera from there. I really enjoyed it. Haven’t read the books tho
I read the books and I enjoyed it. The cultural revolution stuff is exactly as it is portrayed in the books.
there’s also a Chinese adaptation btw. haven’t seen either though
the Netflix one is created by the Game of Thrones guys… though at least in this case the book they’re adapting is finished so maybe it’s not so bad
