Some viewers praise the show's ambition and intellectual depth, calling it a rare achievement in sci-fi television. [1][2][3] Others criticize the adaptation for lacking the book's complexity and for introducing controversial character changes. [4][5]

I am telling you now, just read the book! The show is not very good and doesn't provide any complexity or philosophy of the book. Sorry to say this but the whole series kinda made for less intellectual people who are not into physics and cosmology. First of all, overall production lacks the grandeur expected from a high-budget sci-fi series. CGI is OK but not good as I expect from a budget of $20 million per …

Good storyline. But the acting could be better if actors/actresses were not told to swear. Almost every English speaking character swears for no reason. In reality, the higher education one has, the less one tends to swear.

### Review: 3 Body Problem (2024) Score: 8/10 The discourse around 3 Body Problem is as polarised as the show’s universe, but one thing is undeniable: this is a massively ambitious, intellectually rich, and relentlessly engaging piece of television. For a modern audience, it accomplishes the near-impossible—translating a dense, hard-science fiction epic into a propulsive and character-driven narrative without …

Solid! Pacing in latter half of the first season gets kind of slow though, and I was left wanting the story to be a bit more developed by the time it was wrapped up. Still, hoping / looking forward to the second installment.

Wow, very interesting show. It kinda reminds me the show called "The OA". If you're into mysteries, you will love this. I'm giving it solid 8/10.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 222 public posts we collected about this series and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 13, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported a 78% approval rating with an average rating of 6.9/10, based on 115 critic reviews. The website's critics' consensus reads, "Tackling its ambitious source material with impressive gusto, 3 Body Problem's first season proves a solid start that should leave sci-fi fans eager for more." Metacritic assigned it a score of 70 out of 100, based on 42 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Cindy White of The A.V. Club gave the series a B+ and said, "It may wear the garb of prestige television, but underneath it's just a nerdy science-fiction show, with a healthy emphasis on the science."

positive · AI labelView post →My spouse, teen sons, and I watch an episode of a TV series on nights that we are able be together. Some include Locke&Key, Sweetooth, WheelofTime, Shadow&Bone, Umbrella Academy. We just finished season 2 of Silo and started The 3 Body Problem and OOF that first episode was really hard to watch.
negative · AI labelView post →This scene from Netflix’s 3 Body Problem series pretty accurately predicts what’s happening with aircraft carriers in the war against Iran Watch
neutral · AI labelView post →Been too busy to post much lately, here's some random shit: - 3 Body Problem was dope. Someone get me one of them San-Ti Entertainment Systems ASAP - The Sand Land series is fantastic. Hard not to get emotional thinking about Toriyama tho... - 75 hours into Rebirth and no end in sight. Love it tho
positive · AI labelView post →When 3 Body Problem, the Netflix show came out, it was important to put Liu Cixin into context with Chinese society, the rest of its #scifi tradition, and offer my insights on a somewhat controversial series in relation to China's own adaptation by Tencent. 4/ artreview.com/the-three-bo...
neutral · AI labelView post →3 Body Problem is absolutely chock full of plot holes, more than I've ever encountered in a TV show, and yet somehow no less enjoyable for it
neutral · AI labelView post →3 Body Problem, the new show from the Game of Thrones guys, starts off as some interesting images in search of an equally interesting plot. I reviewed the premiere for the New York Times, where I'll be covering the whole show. (It's their first time recapping an all-at-once season launch I believe)
neutral · AI labelView post →With 3 Body Problem, the Game of Thrones showrunners again demonstrate their gift for adapting seemingly unadaptable book series. But even with some smart choices in translation, the Netflix version is more serviceable than thrilling. My review:
neutral · AI labelView post →Will give 3 Body Problem the TV show this: I have laughed out loud 100% more at it than at the book. (Latest guffaw was at the stoic assertion, “the real work of defending humanity will here… where we can plan plan the defeat of San-Ti in peace.”)
positive · AI labelView post →Watched 3 mins of the Dark Matter show and could tell it wasn't meant to be watched. Assume similar to Constellation which was half assed and 3 Body Problem which I bailed on. Big Door Prize hasn't got the juice either after a few. The Tourist season 2 is green screen shit. TV bad now.
negative · AI labelView post →The boo & I watched the first episode of 3 Body Problem last night, and really enjoyed it. We’re looking forward to seeing the whole series.
positive · AI labelView post →#TBRuary 3 A while back I read THE 3 BODY PROBLEM by Chinese author Cixin Liu (yes because of the Netflix show, lol). Unlike the show, the books are mainly centered in China, with Chinese protags. I've been meaning to finish books 2 & 3 of the trilogy one of these days!

neutral · AI labelView post →3 Body Problem is a fantasy series, where Cixin Liu imagines a world where humanity gives a shit about what happens to it in non-immediate future.
negative · AI labelView post →Enjoyed the first couple of 3 Body Problem episodes. The knowledge that it is based on a completed trilogy of books and therefore presumably Actually Going Somewhere is an improvement on nearly every other tv sci-fi show I've seen lately.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve reached the point in the Netflix 3 Body Problem where the guy who’s not a scientist declares that ‘everything that makes us human is in the brain’ and arranges to shoot one into space so the aliens can meet a human and NOW I’m mad at the science in the show

positive · AI labelView post →Finished 3 Body Problem and boy, oh boy, what a fantastic TV show. Blown away. Two comments, one from my local Tolkien group which meets once a month. The TV show was seriously white-washed. In the books (which I have not read but one of my friends has) all of the main characters are Chinese. 1/
positive · AI labelView post →Maybe it was coming from the alien bases in Antarctica and in the oceans. It kind of sounds like what happened on that TV (Chinese) series called "3 Body Problem."
neutral · AI labelView post →E.g., in the 3 Body Problem Netflix show, they say at one point that Aristotle didn't know about gravity, he thought stones fall down "because they love the ground". Better formulation: the four elements each have their natural place, and will go there unless external forces prevent them. (2/2)
neutral · AI labelView post →3 Body Problem is a challenging novel to read, let alone to adapt into a digestible, bingeworthy television series, but David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo have pulled it off by adding more of the the interpersonal drama that TV depends on.

neutral · AI labelView post →So far its done quite well. My limited data set tells me that they're very good at adapting, but shit at writing new stories. Fortunately for everyone, The 3 Body Problem book series is complete and they don't have to pull a conclusion out of their ass the way they did with GOT.
