3 Body Problem: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Verne Gay Newsday Visually spectacularand a good cast — Wong in particular. Rated: 3/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Ambitious, towering and crammed with big ideas about intellectual curiosity, exploration and our place in the universe while still managing to tell intimate stories about human relationships. Apr 1, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Shirley Li The Atlantic I get a kick out of realizing which portions of the trilogy the show’s creators have chopped up and rearranged, delighted to be shown parallels among characters... and still find Benioff and Weiss to be great at writing memorable, economical dialogue. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Derek Sante KVCW (Las Vegas) This series builds a world below the surface where who where are and our place in time, space and the galaxy are all up for discussion. Rated: B- May 23, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Lachmi Deb Roy Firstpost Liu Cixin’s hard science fiction epic is much more than alien threats with more emphasis on the cultural revolutions and human problems. Rated: 3.5/5 May 22, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Vikram Murthi The Nation The result is a confused mishmash: The rational, scientific side of the story isn’t coldly detailed enough to captivate, and its emotional side feels too superficial or muddled to cut deep.

Ken K Some smart and intriguing concepts and science. However, the people don’t seem so smart. Some motivations seem childish and unexplainable. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Edgard V Very good put you in the way of want to seeMore to learn more what is the thing. Behind all the end kind of incredible but for all super HookeUp to see more Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Gareth v Dull. For a sci-fi this confusing mess just drags on and lacks any sort of emotive punch. A disappointing effort. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Peter K This was a very thoughtful series and the acting was excellent! Am comparing its premises now with "Dark Matter" on Apple TV+. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Layla R very interesting premise, good plot and characters can't wait for season 2! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Baron T I did enjoy this, however it made me feel like either the original writer had some serious plot holes in the books or the screen adaptation missed out some vital elements, as there were some major issues with the plot as it got to the end of the series.I enjoyed it enough to seek out the books and read them for myself, just to see if the writer is inept or the screen writer dropped the ball.
