re: 3 Body Problem - Netflix

I’m on episode 3 and liking it. I hear it starts to take off after this point. I did start reading the first book so up to this point a lot of it is coming back to me. However, I never finished so I don’t know when I will be totally out of the loop. I need to find the books and pick them back up. I just had a hard time keeping up with characters because I couldn’t remember the Chinese names and who was who. I’m just a simple white man, I need characters with names like Mark, Susan and Peter.
