Netflix’s ‘3 Body Problem’ Divides and Confuses the Hell Out of Viewers at Series Mania: ‘It’s a Bit Like Watching ‘Lost’ All Over Again’
Netflix’s big gamble ‘3 Body Problem,’ co-created by “Game of Thrones’” David Benioff and D.B.Weiss, also sparks comparisons to ‘Dune.'
With several industry players opting to go off the record, calling the first two episodes “slow,” “overcomplicated” and “cold,” and quite a few walkouts after the pilot, “3 Body Problem” might not be able to follow into “GoT’s” crowd-pleasing footsteps. “This is a story of what happens when laws of the universe start to break and what it means for all humanity, but particularly for a tight-knit group of friends and colleagues solving the mystery before time runs out,” explained Woo in a short video introduction. Eiza González, Benedict Wong, Rosalind Chao, Jovan Adepo and Jonathan Pryce are also in the cast, alongside Benioff and Weiss’ regular Bradley – praised by Series Mania general director Laurence Herszberg for the fact that unlike so many others, his character in “GoT” “never died.”
