3 Body Problem

Really enjoying this show... very happy to see something scientific mixed with a good mix of mystery and a near perfect cast to portray all the characters. I don't know the source material, but my only subtraction is Auggie. My god what an incredibly weak, pathetic, and absolutely annoying character. I've heard other reviews say this is close to the source material tho so who knows, maybe the character is supposed to be that way. But the visuals are pretty impressive even though at times clearly on a budget, and I love the buildup that season 1 accomplished.

Seriously 500 characters required... but I ran out of stuff to say...

I've been looking forward to 3 Body Problem for what feels like a decade. I just binged the entire first season in two days and it's everything I hoped it would be and more. This series is adapted from the best selling novels of the same name. It's a show that will pull you into their world and not let go. There are so many mysteries that will keep your mind going the entire time. You can tell they put a lot of money into this show too because the visuals are absolutely beautiful. The only thing that could've been better was character development. I stole this quote from a review I read but I couldn't agree more, "3 Body Problem sets a new standard for what sci-fi is capable of." I'm already looking forward to next season. It can't come fast enough.

3 Body Problem is here and it did not disappoint. First of all I've never read any of the books so I have nothing to compare it to or be disappointed about. It looks like most people do like it but there are those who won't because it's not exactly like the book but it's hard to adapt a good book to a show or movie. As long as it's still entertaining then who cares? Just take it for what it is and that's a really good sci-fi series. They've been talking about and hyping this show up for years now. The creators of Game of Thrones (David Benioff and D. B. Weiss) are the creators of this show and that brings a lot of expectations with it. I'm glad they released it on Netflix so we get all the episodes at one time because I couldn't stop watching. I'm glad they already renewed for two more seasons so they can finish the story because everyone knows there's nothing more frustrating than a show getting cancelled before they conclude the story. They now know they have 2 more full seasons to finish it. Can't wait!

First two episodes are confusing but in an good way. Show builds op strong for me. Episode 3, 4 and 5 very strong.

But then, from like episode 5 the focus shifts to the most annoying character i have witnessed in a long time: Auggie.

I dont know if it is a bad actress or a good one and Auggie is ment to be this annoying but is a very hard watch.

At some point you just want to skip every scene she is in. I have still one episode left and my god i hope the character is written off.

So now I have 98 words left to typ but i just wanded to express my hate for this character nothing more. Finished.

"3 Body Problem" held my attention longer than most T. V. series. It's a mysterious sci-fi with enough moving parts to keep you guessing, but not so many as to keep you totally confused. Some of the world's smartest scientists were killing themselves and no one knew why. The most significant information we had as viewers was a terrestrial satellite in China that was being run by a physicist named Ye Wenjie (Rosalind Chao) roughly fifty years ago, and separately, a super-advanced VR headset being used by a physicist named Jin Cheng (Jess Hong) and a rich guy named Jack Rooney (John Bradley) in the present day. It was all mysterious, awesome, and unnerving. Some very unexplainable events were happening that had even the most preeminent minds baffled.

I thought "3 Body Problem" was great as long as they didn't go too deep into the interpersonal relationships. That kills shows for me unless that's what the shows purport to be from the beginning. If I'm watching a sci-fi, I want sci-fi; if I'm watching an action film, I want action, etc. I want the interpersonal drama to be as limited as possible. Give me what I need in order to know the personality of each character then pivot off of it into the matter at hand. I think shows that spend too much time on personal drama and relationship drama are wasting valuable time. I feel like they do that to fill space which is a sure fire way to make me checkout.

"3 Body Problem" largely stayed away from the interpersonal drama until episodes seven and eight. It was as if they ran out of steam a bit and needed content. I don't know where "3 Body Problem" goes after season one, but I think they have enough momentum to go far so long as they don't get in their own way.

Netflix.
