The acclaimed creators of ‘Game of Thrones’, David Benioff and Dan B. Weiss, have returned with their new Netflix series, ‘3 Body Problem’. As with their previous work, this series is also creating a buzz on the internet but for very different reasons. This time, it’s not medieval fantasy but a complex scientific exploration based on a popular Chinese novel by Liu Cixin.
Key Takeaways:
– Creators of the Netflix series, ‘3 Body Problem’, believe in the existence of extraterrestrials.
– The series is adapted from Chinese author Liu Cixin’s novel and covers complex scientific concepts.
– Despite some controversies and mixed reviews, the show has been well-received by a majority and has even added depth to debates about aliens.
‘3 Body Problem’ and its Alien Obsession
‘3 Body Problem’ intricately weaves in the existence of an extraterrestrial species, an idea that science enthusiasts and movie buffs have been gripped by for years. Fictional representations across various media platforms have fed this fascination with lifeforms beyond our solar system.
Liu Cixin’s original novel, being the first part of the influential ‘Remembrance of Earth’s Path’ trilogy, touches on this concept in detail. Admittedly, it’s complex but that hasn’t prevented the live-action adaptation from gaining widespread popularity.
Creators’ Stance on Alien Existence
The creators of ‘3 Body Problem’ recently made an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, during which they elaborated on their belief in extraterrestrials. Alexander Woo, co-creator of the series, was with them for this enlightening conversation.
Explaining their stance, Weiss remarked, “I think they are definitely out there somewhere but it’s just a question of how they are going to get here. Not in the show… but I’m not sure in reality that works. I’m not a science professional so I can’t really speak to that but I think it’s a very solid science fiction… they are out there I think almost certainly out there… and there are trillions of planets in the universe.”
While his skepticism about how these aliens will ever reach us remains, he and his fellow creators have successfully brought their belief in their existence to their audience through the series.
Reception and Future of ‘3 Body Problem’
Although the show stirred some controversies in China, it’s been largely positively received worldwide. Internet reviews range from glowing to more mixed takes, and fans are keenly awaiting word from Netflix about a potential second season.
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Benioff expressed optimism about the next season, stating they already have an idea of its direction. However, during the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Woo reminded everyone that they won’t be assuming anything just yet.
As fascination with anything extraterrestrial continues to inspire works of art, literature, and movies, ‘3 Body Problem’ offers a closer look at the enigma of aliens and their potential arrival on Earth. You can watch ‘3 Body Problem’ now on Netflix.
