Just watched 3 episodes of the Three Body Problem on Netflix and somehow someone managed to sneak in an anti-immigration story under the radar.

I won't be watching the rest of it because it's too depressing.

I just couldn't stand Auggie. I mean, that GOT guy said some stupid comment and she was like "i will punch you in the face until you are fucking dead." WTF? People don't talk like that and women aren't just overtly hostile to all men. She was terribly written and the actress sucked. The rest of it was meh. I'm going to check out the Chinese version. The books were great.

Although notice is only the women making bad choices and fucking things up which is also very different to many films and shows where women are always in the right. They even show a good example of weaponised empathy.

I just don't see anyone who's in such a collaborative, scientific environment being that overtly hostile. Now, if they had her crack a joke at his expense, that would be more realistic.
