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...

At the time of this writing the show has a 7.9 rating. I suspect in time this will go down to around 7.2 although personally I think it deserves a 6.

Too harsh? I don't think so. While I didn't hate the show and am not one of those people who need or expect all adaptations to adhere strictly to the source material I think if you are going to make changes in your adaptation they should make sense and make some sort of improvement. This show failed on both scores. The original books by author Cixin Liu were hard sci-fi and brilliant in scope and imagination. The adaptation dumbs down the source material for TV and makes changes to appease the political viewers. None of this is an improvement. All it achieves is it takes everything that made the books so different from everything else out there and turns it into the same kind of Hollywood tripe that's a dime a dozen these days.

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.

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 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!
