The mission to send Will's probe into space is actioned, and Saul is offered a huge responsibility.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but boy was this a disappointing end to the series, I know it is what it is, but this lacked tension, lacked excitement, after so much promise and build up, it just limped over the finish line.

I quite liked the ambiguity of it, it's so complex and layered, that it was never going to be all nicely tied up like some whodunnit, it was always going to be a mystery unanswered, but they didn't answer anything at all, this felt like a middle episode, not a finale.

I'll try and explain my disappointment, compared to much of what I've seen in recent times, it was very good, compared to mid series episodes, it just wasn't in the same league, it felt like they took their eye off the game just for a moment.

Still no news of a second series, I hope there is a second series, because this deserves a quality conclusion, please don't let this excellent series end with this.

Good, but should have been great.

6/10.

There's isn't the least question in my mind that another series is being produced as we watch. The books are there for source material. This is only the end of the first series. Saul is really a tiresome character. He is sarcastic, self-serving, and relatively stupid. He can't stand any sort of responsibility. As a scientist he has been ineffectual. He whines. His conversation with the young woman at the start shows he only cares about himself and his own being--not the life of everyone else. Even after he is shot, he is back whining some more, making demands, etc. I really liked the comments as the cicadas showed their stuff and how endlessly adaptive the universe is. I hope I get to see the next offering.

This is the first time I've written a review for a series or movie here, even though I've been using IMDB for over 20 years. Even if "3 Body Problem" wasn't necessarily as thrilling as "Game of Thrones" or "Breaking Bad" in the first season, I have to tell you: It grabbed me! And: I want to know what happens next, how it will be realized on film. I know the audiobook even though it's been a few years since I listened to it and I've already forgotten a lot of things, but I'm really excited to see how it will continue in the coming seasons. So please Netflix: plan seasons 2 and 3 and 4 etc. And please broadcast them quickly :) I like 3 Body Problem!!!

Show makes you think about the impact of relationships, outcomes, consequences, and decisions. I thoroughly enjoyed the show considering the inter-galactic, political implications while still managing to make it connect on a human level. I wish they further explored the financial impact on the world these scenarios would bring. The score and the music choices are fitting and wonderful. The sorry progression evolves aggressively leaving the viewer wondering which path and which motive each faction has to achieve what they consider, "success". Plenty of questions still left unanswered. Overall, I can't wait to watch more and I will now be reading the books. Awesome.

Wow, I haven't seen a show go off the rails and land so badly since, well since game of thrones I guess. I wonder if anyone involved in this show was linked to that. They seem to manage to have condensed the disappointment and feeling of betrayl down from an 8 year arc into a single 8 episode season, so I guess that's some sort of progress.

I'm tempted to read the books now and see if the original material is as directionless as this series ended up being. I had a quick look at the plot synopsis and it looks like the failure for this can be laid directly on the show runners shoulders. They have changed quite a lot of what actually happens in the story.

Such a promising start, and we really do need a smart and thought provoking series to engage us, but this was both mind numbing and thought provoking at the same time, and the ratio between the 2 veered strongly toward the mind numbing as each episode passed and then pretty much gave up on the thought provoking when it got obsessed with nano fibers, and it was all downhill from there.

WTF was going on with the brain in a box attached to some tent ropes which came unfastened as the ship passed only the 3rd acceleration point of hundreds. What was the point of all that??? What was he going to do when he got there?
