The countdown is on to March 21, the official release date of the new potential success series 3 Body Problem. The series is based on the novel by Liu Cixin and is the first part of the trilogy written by him. The series is already in the spotlight everywhere. Especially because of the creators, David Benioff and DB Weiss. Names that appeal to the imagination because of their previous mega-project, Game of Thrones.
The big question is whether the gentlemen will be able to make it a spectacle again in a completely new setting. Pretty much all records were broken with Game of Thrones. The roughness of the series also caused many viewers to drop out after just a few episodes. There was no compromise with GoT, violence, sex and deceit was part of the story. We will see soon enough whether that compromise is there with the new series 3 Body Problem.
The Three-Body Problem
The Three-Body Problem (official title), forms the first part of a trilogy that explores life and death on a planetary scale and even spans centuries and eras. It raises and attempts to answer Big Questions, perhaps the most important of which is: Is it possible for civilizations to coexist peacefully in this immense universe?
There is also a scientific explanation of the Three Body Problem: The ‘three body problem’ comes from physics. The goal is to find how three things move when they attract each other with gravity. For example, it would be the problem of the movement of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. Physicists don’t have a general solution that always works.
