    3 Body Problem on Netflix: The Hate You Give Scientists F**ks Everybody

    Opinion

    Netflix’s new series “3 Body Problem” is science-fiction gold. 

    The new show from the creators of “Game of Thrones” has wowed audiences and critics alike.

    This series takes place across different times and civilizations.

    In one, a brave young scientist navigates her imprisonment under the Chinese Communist Party, and in the other, the world’s greatest scientific minds are dropping like flies from a series of mysterious deaths.

    This shows explorations of environmental issues, authoritarian societies, and the attack on intellectuals seems perfectly made for the climate of 2025.

    However, this hidden gem released in early 2024, follows a group of old college friends as they navigate the death of a former associate and fellow scientist.  

    Scientist Auggie (Eiza Gonzalez), Jack (John Bradley), Saul (Jovan Adepa), Jin (Jess Hong), and Will (Alex Sharp) find themselves challenged in various ways when an alien force threatens the freedom of Earth.

    In the series, scientists find themselves locked in a death countdown as enemies with advanced technology attack their scientific work.

    Another portion of the show, explores as ambitious intellectuals are invited to an extra-worldly video game challenging their scientific knowledge through a series of missions. 

    All the while, Detective Da Shi (Benedict Wong) is given an assignment from one of the most powerful government agencies in the world to figure out who is causing these mysterious occurrences and untimely deaths. 

    “3 Body Problem” is based on the book of the same name, it is the first book in Liu Cixin’s trilogy “Remembrance of Earth’s Past”.
