Various bad three body problem jokes made up watching the Netflix show 

As far as adapting the source material goes I don't hate all the changes? So many of the characters in the books were kind of on dimensional anyway so compositing them into a group of friends makes some sense. But I miss the comic relief of the book's Da Shi, Benedict Wong isn't given a lot to work with

The actor playing young Ye Wenjie is great, the 1960s parts are really strong

Tui

A large, dark nectar feeder endemic to New Zealand. Easily distinguished by two curled white feather tufts (“poi”) visible on the throat. Tail and wings have blue, purple, and green iridescence. Found throughout much of New Zealand, including Auckland, Kermadec, and Chatham Islands, though mostly absent from Canterbury. Favors native forest and scrub, also venturing into suburban parks, farmland, and rural gardens. Often detected by its unique voice consisting of melodious notes intermixed with croaks, coughs, clicks, and wheezes. Also listen for its noisy whirring flight. Similar to male Eurasian Blackbird, but easily identified by its white throat feathers and iridescence. Song can be easily confused with that of a bellbird, but listen for distinct loud coughs, grunts, and wheezes in Tui song.
