In our own four-star review, we described the series as “3 Body Problem has to be seen to be believed, largely doing its source material justice in interpreting what is incredibly complex physics into something engaging and palatable.
“However, as it leads itself out of the door, the show shoots itself in the foot, leaving its parting note as a damp squib, when it should be a towering inferno of self-reflection.”
James Poniewozik at The New York Times added: “If one thing holds it back from greatness, it’s the characters, who could have used some alien technology to lend them an extra dimension or two. But the series’s scale and mind-bending turns may leave you too starry-eyed to notice.”
Kathryn VanArendonk at Vulture agreed: “It’s well-paced, generally compelling, and completely committed to being the most TV version of itself it can possibly be. If only more Netflix dramas did the same.”
3 Body Problem is now available to stream on Netflix. Find out more about the cast, if you need to read the books beforehand, and catch up with other amazing TV shows to stream this month.
