WHY YOU SHOULD STREAM 3 Body Problem - TIPS FROM JUSTWATCH
Perfect for fans of the book and ambitious adaptations
Rachel Ulatowski
Written on March 26, 2024 Watched in the cinema
"Viewers who can't resist the film/TV adaptations of books once thought impossible to adapt, such as Dune and Games of Thrones, will be intrigued by 3 Body Problem, especially since it comes from the same creators of Game of Thrones. The large-scale series is largely faithful to the books, although it pulls elements from across all three novels. Just like the books, it is the kind of series best suited for hardcore sci-fi fans who can handle the brainy, complex plot and sophisticated themes of existentialism and the future of humanity and technology."
If you love complex, emotional science fiction, you need to watch 3 Body Problem.
Keith Langston
Written on March 26, 2024 Streamed on Netflix
"Based on the periodical-turned-novel of the same name, 3 Body Problem creates a deeply profound story about humankind’s first contact with aliens…but it’s nothing like the typical first-contact stories you’re used to. If you love emotionally evoking science fiction like Arrival, or a gripping mind-bending story like Ex Machina, 3 Body Problem is a must-watch. Plus, the series is made by Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Wiess and has all the makings to be streaming’s next bingable obsession."
