    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the adaptation of Cixin Liu's novel, The Three-Body Problem, into an eight-part series for Netflix by the Game of Thrones team. The adaptation, titled 3 Body Problem, combines hard sci-fi with a noir-thriller aesthetic and historical drama. The series follows the story of Ye Wenjie, a physicist in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and a group of astrophysicists in modern-day London who are investigating mysterious deaths and anomalies in the world of science. While the adaptation has received praise for its presentation of physics and the performance of Benedict Wong, there are some missteps and deviations from the source material. Overall, the adaptation has been considered a good job with a challenging task. [Extracted from the article]
