This is the first series since Stranger Things season 1 that I just stumbled upon and ended up staying up late into the night to binge finish. Absolutely addicting show.

Side note: I remember reading about the dark forest theory concerning the topic of the show years ago and had no idea that this was the source material.

Episode 4:
Why would they break Cheng's cover like that? Just take her in with the others and separate her later. Come on, this is basic stuff.

I just finished binge reading the first book and so far I'm fine with this adaptation.

I think a lot of the criticism about the adaptation should lie with the nature of streaming and in particular Netflix, which can be an incredibly mercurial producer to work with. They need to rush some plot poo poo along to get people on the hook to increase Netflix survivors or else they get tossed in the bin.
