Though certainly not without its flaws, 3 Body Problem is one of the better sci-fi series I’ve seen in some time. Let’s be honest, when you’re making ambitious and heady sci-fi that still needs to be accessible for regular (read: non-nerd) viewers, flaws are to be expected, but the ones found here are minor quibbles. Sure, some of the characters seem unnecessary (for now), and some melodramatic subplots just aren’t that interesting, but the core story of scientific problem solving to avert [spoiler redacted]…while also adeptly addressing themes of faith, science, religion, and humanity…kept me thoroughly engaged. I’m eager to see where Season Two goes.
