    its fine i’ve watched 3 episodes, its just that its almost comical how it portrays china as backwards and the west progressive. I cracked laughing in one scene where it turns out there is an rich American in the middle of nowhere in China trying to save some random bird specie in danger of extinction because the evil CCP has been cutting trees. I need to read the novel to see the differences in the adaptations.

      I’ve read the books and am about halfway through the Netflix version. The whole tree chopping saga was exactly as it was described in the books, unfortunately.
