‘3 Body Problem’ TV Review: Intergalactic Drama From ‘Game Of Thrones’ Creators Proves More Pedestrian Than Epic, And That’s A Real Problem – SXSW


Netflix's big budget series from Game of Thrones' David Benioff & D.B. Weiss proves lightning rarely really strikes twice.

Ambling along from the murderous chaos of the Chinese Cultural revolution to a group of scientifically inclined Oxford pals in modern-day London, 3 Body Problem packs in immersive video games, crashing particle accelerators, strange suicides, Cape Canaveral and the United Nations (which also figures more powerful and influential in such sci-fi projects than it has for decades in the realpolitik of the real world). Starring Adepo, Rosalind Chao, MCU alum Benedict Wong, Eiza González, Alex Sharp, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly and Sea Shimooka along with Westeros and Essos vets Jonathan Pryce, John Bradley and Liam Cunningham, 3 Body Problem wants to look and sound very important and very serious. Weiss, Alexander Woo, Rose Cartwright, Madhuri Shekar Cast: Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Rosalind Chao, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Benedict Wong, Jonathan Pryce
