The show (based on the book trilogy Remembrance of Earth's Past, by Cixin Liu; the lasting effect is that the experience of witnessing the stars at night is even richer) is also on PBS, and here in WA anyway it came out a week earlier on PBS than on Netflix.
To be clear, PBS is showing the 30-episode show that was made in China. It's different from the Netflix series that just came out. I plan to watch both.
I could care less about a few commentators showing nationalistic fervor (based on writing from a book from china). This is CNN digging for site traffic, not news.
