Hope there will be a China version -> they did one for first book, before Netflix released their own. It was much longer (30 episodes) and in what I remembered from the book did a pretty good job adapting it. Netflix changed a lot of things and condensed it a lot. Reading the book you would ask yourself a lot why some thing happened, how it was possible and if it really was what you were hinted to think.
The Chinese version feels higher budget, but is unwatchable. Seems like the show runner told the writers “Anything science-y we explain 3 times, mandatory.” Heard them the first time? Too bad, get ready to hear the same 3-minute explanation again, now with more ‘I’ve heard of math, but never actually done it’ energy.
