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."

    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.

    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)

    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:

    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.”)

    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)

    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.
