Hopefully you are a sci-fi fan.

Three Body Problem is coming to Netflix. Deep sci-fi trilogy about first contact with aliens. The author is Chinese so most of the characters are Chinese. The names can get confusing because there are a lot of characters. Fair warning, the show will be made by the GoT guys. Unlike GoT, the books are complete, so hopefully they can pull it off.

Foundation is a good show if you haven’t read the books. I watched the show first then read the novel. I don’t even know if I want to watch season 2.

Not a show, but they are adapting Project* Hail Mary (author also wrote The Martian) to a film starring Ryan Gosling. Highly recommend that book, in audiobook if you can. The narration makes it even better.

Pierce Brown, the author of the Red Rising series, has been teasing a show for years. No confirmation yet but recommend the series.

I like the book, but I have no idea how they can do this and not make it seem...ridiculous.

I think that one is a hard one to translate from page to visual

If done by HBO I think this could be a HUGE series.

Its perfectly set up for that format.
