jeremy j really great. Some changes from the books but overall takes a book with some very dry exposition and characters and really makes it work. Every episode was really great. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Audience Member I expected this series to be thrilling and thought-provoking. Instead, I was left deeply disappointed. I kept watching until the scene where, after the destruction of the ship and the loss of lives, Augustina “Oggie” Salazar reacts with justified anger. But then came the moment that ruined it all — the show begins to glorify and promote russian "culture". The bitter irony is that I was watching this episode while hiding in a basement during a russian missile attack. This hypocrisy was too much to tolerate.I turned it off immediately.It’s heartbreaking that a series like this chooses to elevate a culture whose current regime tortures and kills — and whose citizens grow up reading this “masterpiece” in school, only to later invade independent countries and murder children. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Kolby G Unoriginal, Poorly Acted, and Doomed from the Start The 3 Body Problem on Netflix is just another recycled sci-fi mess. We've seen this kind of story before—nothing here feels fresh or groundbreaking. The casting is terrible, with bland performances that drag down even the rare interesting moments. Worst of all, it’s brought to you by the same producers who ruined Game of Thrones. True to form, they fumble the tone, butcher the source material, and turn a complex, thought-provoking story into a shallow, uninspired slog. A waste of time and potential. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Jas A 3 Body Problem takes you on a wild, far-reaching journey through the universe—and somehow makes it feel intimate and deeply human. From the very first episode, the story unfolds in surprising ways, with reveal after reveal pulling you deeper into its mysteries. Each twist adds another layer of awe, keeping the suspense and curiosity alive throughout the season. The series moves through time with elegance, letting us witness the characters’ lives across decades. Their development is rich and compelling, and each time shift brings new emotional weight and insight. Despite the scale of the science fiction—first contact with aliens, mind-bending physics, and the looming threat of the unknown—the heart of the show is always rooted in its characters. Their terror, hope, and resilience feel achingly real. The acting is top-tier, and the performances sell both the grand existential questions and the intimate personal stakes. 3 Body Problem is a finely tuned, beautifully structured series that explores humanity’s place in the cosmos without losing sight of what makes us human. It’s both thrilling and thoughtful, and I was completely hooked from start to finish. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review French C As others have said, the first two episodes are engaging but after that it’s a huge “WTF” combined with some horrendous acting (ie. Auggie). Imagine being scared of some aliens that MIGHT come take over your world in 400 years. I really hope the books are better than whatever this show was trying to be Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Nguyen T For non-novel readers, the approach is careful and requires a bit patience for about the firsts 30 minutes. For novel readers, this series is a good adaptation, especially in terms of internationalization and for those who want to explore and experience more about the San Qi world, besides reading the 3 book volumes. And for those who want a series which is merely as-is to the original, I recommend the Chinese version. Finally, just imagine what would happen if the Marvel universe is originated in China and then adapted to English, it would be hard to think of the world saviors who are all Chinese, right?
