I don’t mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn’t bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.


I loved the books. It didn’t matter that the characters were 1 dimensional representations of a concept or political viewpoint, because it was about the ideas amd the setting and the events. Then I struggled thru the Chinese TV series of it because the books were so cool, and the Wang Miao and Da Shi actors were good together. But I think I’ve had my fill of this story and will never get around to watching the Netflix version.
Would you recommend the adaption at all? I wnt the story
