Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2 ):
Kids say (4 ):

Creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss shifted the TV landscape with Game of Thrones, making the fantasy genre immensely popular with bold storytelling and gut-punch twists. With co-creator Alexander Woo (The Terror, True Blood) on board for their new series, 3 Body Problem, they hope to catapult another niche genre into the same stratosphere. This time, the genre is speculative fiction, and the point of entry is a little steep: The show centers around the tension between science and religion. But given an investment from viewers, 3 Body Problem pays off in arresting visuals and—often gory—heart-pounding action. The show confidently takes its audience into uncharted territory, peeling back mystery after mystery.
