3 Body Problem

I liked the contemplative nature of this show, but it quite quickly degraded into silliness, and disappointingly so, because it started off pretty well.

We need shows like this one promised to be, but the clues were there right from the start with the annoying constantly smoking cast. Brought to you by the same people who scuttled 7 years of game of thrones with a half ar$ed 8th series. Interestingly this series was 8 episodes long but the show runners killed the show well before the final episode, so I guess that's progress for them, condensing 8 years of disappointment down into an eight episode arc.

I don't know what to think after finishing this first series. It was tantalising in its premise, but so disappointing in its execution.

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.

The 3 body problem is an absolutely engrossing genre mystery with compelling characters, human drama and even a few laughs.

I binged this entire first season and I can't wait for the next. The premise does stretch the plausibility of the physics, but does not eliminate any suspension of disbelief. The execution of this show is top notch, the production, writing and the acting.

There are themes here that not everyone will agree with, a certain misanthropy underlying the show, but you can easily enjoy the show without feeling like these ideas are being shoved down your throat like many shows these days do.

If you are fan of genre fiction, and you haven't watched this already, you are missing out!

I went into this completely blind--never read the books or saw the Chinese version, and only knew it was a sci-fi show by the guys from GoT. So I had no expectations. I thought it was good, but something was missing that kept it from being great.

The production was good, but not inspiring. The acting was good, but I never really felt emotionally connected to the characters, although I came close with Jin. It would have been nice to have more background and world building to become more vested in the story and characters.

The plot itself was fine enough, but events seemed to unfold quite quickly without ever showing any effort. A lot happened, but it lacked depth. I thought it was good enough to watch another season, but it didn't really knock my socks off at any point. Good enough, I suppose.

First of all, I haven't read the books, so my review will be about what I watched.

That being said, the show tells us a story about humanity, how we interact, what we feel, the good, the bad, and how that can make us unique.

I think the plot is amazing, there's no doubt about it, the effort to create an atmosphere of intrigue is notable, it catches you, I had no idea what was happening the first episodes and I think that was crucial, I loved that. However, when things start to make sense and It leaves you nothing to imagine it is weird, I dont know, what I love the most of a fiction sometimes is how nothing is clear, here they tell you everything, literally.

Secondly, I think there were a lot of protagonists, they werent so bad, but too many stories that didnt have much to do with the plot (stop making fat people the funny ones)

All in all, it was fun, it starts very good, then its not so good, then again good and then desapointing. If you love sci-fi, highly recommended, if not, watch something else.
