It looks like Netflix has a big hit on its hands with “3 Body Problem.”
The long-awaited Netflix series is based on a series of books by Liu Cixin. He didn’t know it from watching the first trailer, but many OutKick readers reached out to David.Hookstead@outkick.com to let me know the source content is amazing.
All the readers reaching out only increased my interest in the series even more. If everyone says the books were amazing, how could the series not be too?
The plot is described simply as: “A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China echoes across space and time to this day. When the laws of nature inexplicably crumble before her eyes, a group “Tight-knit group of brilliant scientists join forces with an unorthodox group of detectives to confront the greatest threat in human history.”
Sounds interesting, right? Well, plot details aren’t the only interesting thing about “3 Body Problem.” The television series is created by “game of Thrones“Showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss and it’s scored by the incredible Ramin Djawadi. If that’s not enough to get you interested before watching a single second, then I don’t know what will.

“3 Body Problem” is a fascinating series.
The entire series premiered Thursday on Netflix, and in between March Madness games, I found time to crush the premiere.
Is very good. She is a fucking series. As always, I will avoid spoilers, but everything in “3 Body Problem” is mysterious and suspenseful.
The series begins with a brutal scene of anti-communists in 1960s China parading in front of communist members demanding that they be treated in the harshest terms possible. One is beaten to death, and that serves as a catalyst for the journey viewers take.
It’s impossible to look away or stop watching once the series starts, and there’s also a HUGE focus on astrophysics. Admittedly, I don’t know anything about astrophysics and there were a few moments where things went a little over my head. However, I think that’s by design.
What I will say is that the scenes set in China during the Cultural Revolution are incredibly disturbing and disturbing. Honestly, it’s uncomfortable to sit through the opening scene, but it’s a powerful reminder of the dangers of communism.

Overall, I can’t wait to see where the show goes from here. It’s a really fun episode, and as someone who has no idea what the source material is, I can’t wait to take it the rest of the way. You have already seen it? Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
