Plot: A learned educator delivers a lecture shedding light on the three-body problem in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner.
Season 1 of 3 Body Problem was Really Good.
Pros: I like the mind-bowling CGI & virtual reality effects. A lot of intense & heartwarming moments to be had in this season. It does keep you guessing what’s going on in this series. The characters are quite good and engaging and this is a another one to binge watch in one day.
Cons: The short pacing can get difficult to stay being engaged at times. Some storylines were hard to follow, and they left some unanswered questions they didn’t get, unable to be done.
