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.

Darth H Starts interesting but it fails totally and goes down like the Titan. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Pierre C Very slow paced. I wish there was more to this series. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Audience Member D and D can suck it. They can't write to save their lives. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Amazing series series with great ideas that make you want to read the source material. I have high expectations for season 2. Don't ruin it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Jai P I went in blind into the show when someone in Twitter recommended it. The scale is so huge and executed perfectly. Mind boggling stuff. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Julie R A really fascinating show. I haven't read the books, and don't consider myself a sci-fi fan in general. This show is aesthetically beautiful and the story is interesting and complex. There is a bit of bad acting, which surprised me considering the high quality production. But it's nothing I can't forgive. I look forward to season 2 and hope it doesn't get stupid.
