This new hit series is not to be missed on Netflix. This science fiction program is at the top of the moment.
Attention nugget: if there is a series that you absolutely must watch right now on Netflix, it is undoubtedly the new fiction from the creators of Game of Thrones (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss) and Alexander Woo . Mysterious and gripping, this science fiction series in just eight episodes creates an event and keeps subscribers of the streaming platform in suspense. It is number 1 of the most viewed series of the moment since its release on March 21.
The 3-Body Problem is an extremely ambitious project from Netflix. It is the series adaptation of Liu Cixin’s best-selling Chinese science fiction book. The series adapts the first volume of its trilogy, which is then divided into two novels, The Dark Forest and The Immortal Death.
In the new series by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo, Netflix subscribers try to understand a space-time mystery that is hitting the world, and more particularly the scientific community, and which would have its ramifications in China in the 1960s. Sixty years later, therefore, the laws of nature end up disintegrating before the eyes of a group of scientists and a police inspector, all of whom seek to confront this new force that threatens humanity.
In terms of casting, The 3-Body Problem brings together actors who have already appeared in Game of Thrones to associate them with faces less known to the public. David Benioff, D.B. Weiss reunite with John-Bradley West (Sam in GOT), Liam Cunningham (Sir Davos) and Jonathan Pryce (The High Sparrow) with whom they had already worked on the fantasy series. They combine their talents with those of Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver, Ambulance), Marlo Kelly (Dare Me), Benedict Wong (Wong from the MCU), Sea Shimooka (Arrow, Berlin), Jovan Adepo (Babylon) and Alex Sharp, Zine Tseng and Rosalind Chao.
The 3-Body Problem draws on a highly ambitious science fiction novel, which questions our relationship with strangers and others when humanity faces the worst. More mysterious in its starting point, it nevertheless reveals itself to be highly gripping as the revelations of the series follow one another. From then on, we realize that it is not just a scientific mystery that we are being offered, but a reflection on our relationship to the world, to science and especially to others.
Thanks to a sustained rhythm and a precise narration, without it being heavy or artificial, associated with an often imposing staging, The Three-Body Problem achieves the feat of combining cerebral subject matter without ever sacrificing it to the great spectacle. Netflix has released a very entertaining series that lives up to its stakes and its storyline, which has everything to become the new SF obsession of the small screen.
