3 Body Problem
3 Body Problem
winning novel
The series explores a universe filled with mysteries, as well as the interactions and conflicts
between humanity and alien civilizations. The intricate narrative is intriguing with mind-
bending scientific concepts, existential threats and profound philosophical questions
providing a compelling watch for sci-fi enthusiasts.
Some gorgeous camera work and good editing also help the show out, I will edit this review
at a later date once I have seen all the episodes for Season 1. But after 2 episodes I like it a
good amount!
The cinematography is breathtaking and stunning layering the labyrinth of ideas and
storylines into the extraterrestrial backdrop.
It is still good though. The world-building is great, the cinematography is spectacular, the
plot is engaging. The explanation of scientific ideas and concepts is easy to digest even to
the audience not familiar with them.
Some scenes could've been better in chopping room and some things are just exposition. So
don't expect a series like Dark. But it's not a 3 or 4 or even 6 for that matter. It's
entertaining. Slow burn at times. Acted very well and dialogues are for the most part really
well done.
Some sequences are executed extremely well and few characters are written well enough to
become memorable as well.
Here's to the hopeful second season which I can't wait for. I haven't read the original book
(now it's on my reading list). I haven't watched the Tencent adaptation. I understand it's
dumbed down, "streamlined", and given a "General Tso's chicken treatment".
The scientist bunch, however... Dear scriptwriters, it's 2024. The general consensus today is
that the scientists and nerds are not all insecure super geniuses who insert the F-word in
every sentence to sound cool. (Thanks for not calling them "boffins" though.) The cast is OK
but there is not much for them to play with.
The cast that is given less cardboard characters like Rosalind Chao, Liam Cunningham, and
in particular, Benedict Wong really shine. Especially Benedict Wong with his grizzled, chain-
smoking cynical detective whom every other character unsuccessfully tries to provoke. Give
this man a medal.
Worth watching and I welcome the trend of adapting classic sci fi instead of dragging infinite
decade-long franchises. This is an outstanding sci-fi, probably one of the best sci-fi stories
ever! The story has science loosely based on our current understanding of astrophysics and
quantum mechanics. Most characters are likable if you are not a racist as it has many Asian
american characters who are usually not popular for american viewers. The actings are quite
good and the production made a somewhat awkward writing into something much easier to
follow. Some of the science and engineering are quite radical but have been proposed in real
life. Many people who probably failed physic and other science classes probably won't enjoy
this show. I just finished watching 3 body problem on Netflix. I usually don't rate tv shows
after only watching the first season but this must be the best tv show Netflix has created
over the last few years. I loved it so much. It kept me at the urge of my seat. I'm not even
sure where to start. It just works. The storyline, the acting, the pace, the setting,
everything is just perfect. Humanity is so fragile and resilient. This is not a mindless alien
invasion plot. It makes me think about how humans will behave in such an event. They talk
about the science and simplify certain things that'll be so complicated to explain. The
friendship and the bond between the lead characters is so heartwarming. I really hope
Netflix doesn't ruin the show and I hope they release the next season very soon. For those
giving it a low rating because of the book adaptation and so on, just grow up. Not
everything needs to be the same at all times. This is a beautiful and incredible story. I can't
wait for more of this. Solid 10/10. Absolute.
