Sun Zhonghuai, vice president of Tencent, CEO of Tencent Video and chief producer of the TV series, revealed some of the reasons for choosing “The Three-Body Problem”, saying, “It is not only a scarce and magnificent sci-fi story, but is also deeply rooted in Chinese culture and thought. At present, more than 310,000 viewers have watched the show and scored 8.5 points on Douban, a Chinese media review platform.

While it suffers from a rocky beginning with burdensome amounts of kook and quirk, the unfolding spell it subtly casts holds profundity and wisdom. Fortunately, that’s not the case with director Julia Hart’s “ Stargirl.” Adapted by Hart, Kristin Hahn and Jordan Horowitz from Jerry Spinelli’s novel of the same name, this tale of two teens falling in love and struggling to find balance in their polar opposite identities may prove difficult viewing for cynics or those with a low tolerance for the overtly saccharine. Maybe it’s the fault of “The Fault in Our Stars” that we assume, in the flourishing modern era of the young-adult genre, that one of the story’s romantic leads has to die in order to advance the dramatic stakes. ![]() |
