I haven’t yet. Colleagues were talking about it some days ago but my impression was that it doesn’t have much to do with the three body problem in physics, does it?

more than indirectly, it's the core the whole story hinges on.

Yes, I highly recommend the Chinese version. They dumbed down the American version to the point where the big philosophical ideas, and the sophomoric yet rarely explored bits of physics fiction, aren’t really present.

I second this. I turned off the netflix version midway through the first episode, it's trash. the Chinese series is great, though.

Interesting how they even fine-tune the details of a series per country.

I read the book and was quite enjoying it until the painfully long part about the guy bizarrely falling in love with an imaginary girlfriend as part of some kind of bet with his real girlfriend. The most painful and embarrassing thing I have ever read. I didn't know where to put myself. I had to quit reading so never got to the 2nd book. Was that scene covered in the TV series?

I don't remember that part of the books! It wasn't in the first seasons at least.
