The book was pretty much all china.Doesn't compare well to Tencent?
I don't know anything about the source material but I'm enjoying it
Seems like they coulda got more epsidoes out of it. We could have handled more Jonathon Pryce, I'm thinking. Not too many scenes on the ship. The Panama scene was gangbusters though.
General question. One I keep asking, and I'm fascinated with.
So the book was all China, but for this adapation they shifted almost all the action out of China.
And they picked England. This is another sci-fi adaptation where most everyone is speaking RP and associated accents. I know some of y'all can't see this cos you watch so much English stuff anyways. But why is it always English accents?
This is NOT a oh-these-bloody-Brits-are-everywhere thing
I really want to understand the creative choice here every time we get a sci-fi show.
And I love Liam Cunningham in this.
My guess is they set it in England because there were lots of Game of Thrones actors out of work, who they could get to be in it on the cheap.
