3 Body Problem

3 Body Problem — Netflix has you covered

I’ve been aware of the book 3 Body Problem for a while as something I ought to read one day. Years later, Netflix is bringing an adaptation to our screens on March 21. If, like me, you know less about this than you might, there’s a handy guide with video trailer. BTW, the book is by Cixin Liu.

Over the course of eight episodes, 3 Body Problem immerses audiences in mysteries and earth-shattering discoveries, before potentially catastrophic consequences come to life as we know it.

What’s 3 Body Problem about?

The story begins in 1960s China when a young woman makes a fateful decision that reverberates across space and time into the present day. When the laws of nature inexplicably unravel, a tight-knit group of brilliant scientists must join forces with an unflinching detective to stop humanity’s greatest threat. 

The article gives plenty of detail on cast, characters and even a podcast.

Like me, you might also know (if not understand) it’s also a famous problem in mathematics, more commonly called the Three-body Problem. I don’t know if that helps, but it does make me look more informed! Meanwhile, here’s the final trailer:
