3 Body Problem creators want episode 2’s reveal to sell you on the Netflix show
21.03.2024 - 13:27 / polygon.com / David Benioff
The creators of Netflix’s 3 Body Problem know there’s a lot riding on their adaptation. There’s the fact that the books it’s adapted from are a beloved sci-fi series popular around the world. It’s science fiction that gets not only heady but wondrous, often thought to be unadaptable. There’s also the fact that two-thirds of the showrunning team is coming to this from Game of Thrones, another big-budget TV epic, and one that left something of a bad taste in people’s mouths.
Which is all to say: Many people will be primed for skepticism when it comes to watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix. But when watching, the showrunners (Alexander Woo, David Benioff, and D.B. Weiss) would like you to keep one thing in mind: Watch through episode 2 before you make up your mind. That’s the moment the whole season — and, indeed, the whole crux of the show — hinges around.
They thought it was a beat they could get to a little faster. The group talked about making it a two-hour pilot, before ultimately deciding that wasn’t the way to go. “As we broke down what had to actually happen, there’s too much event; there’s no way to do it in an hour,” Benioff told Polygon.
Without giving anything away, the end of the second episode is one of the key moments for the whole series, and one the book does slow play a bit.But it’s a moment that’s crucial to understanding how the Three-Body Problem series (and the 3 Body Problem series) thinks about the conflict at the center of it.
[Ed. note: The rest of this post contains spoilers for the first two episodes of 3 Body Problem, and does so by going into details of the book.]
If you’re familiar with the book (or just curious what the show is building toward in its first two episodes), the final scene of Ye during the Cultural Revolution won’t surprise you. It’s when she receives the alien correspondence and, alone, decides to invite them to Earth. She drafts a message and (as the book puts it) “without hesitation” presses the button to send.
“It’s that button,” D.B. Weiss says. “For us [...] it leads to that moment. Everything builds to that moment. And that just felt like it just always seemed like the right thing to do.”
The goal was not to leave her feeling like some “mustache-twirling villain” who just wants to destroy the universe for fun. As The Three-Body Problem makes clear, this is a decision that alters intergalactic history.
It’s a choice that balances the vast possibilities of the infinite cosmos with the decidedly punishing limitations of Earth — a feeling author Cixin Liu wrote about in the postscript to the American edition of The Three-Body Problem. “As I gazed at that tiny, gliding star [Dongfanghong I, the first artificial satellite China ever launched], my heart

3 Body Problem’s VR tech got a big glow-up from the books
Netflix’s TV adaptation of the novel The Three-Body Problem makes some important changes to its source material. Characters in Cixin Liu’s original book are reimagined and split into others.

What’s it like to wear the 3 Body Problem headset? We asked the cast
The early days of 3 Body Problem’s mystery are centered where so many of us find ourselves these days: a video game. This one is, as Jack (John Bradley) describes to Jin (Jess Hong) in the show, light-years ahead of what we know: a VR world where you can really taste, smell, and feel the world (and its many threats). As Hong describes it, those 3 Body game scenes felt “epic” to shoot, thanks to the production design of the world.

3 Body Problem’s creators learned all the wrong lessons from Game of Thrones
Adaptations aren’t easy, and few people in Hollywood know that better than David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The writing and showrunning duo ran the gamut on HBO’s Game of Thrones, starting off with five seasons of a better and more faithful translation to the screen than anyone could have imagined, before the series slowly went off the rails when they ran out of material. The pair’s new show, 3 Body Problem, proves that they learned a lot from their failures on Game of Thrones — but its struggles also prove that no two adaptations are alike.

Three-Body Problem’s best adaptation is secretly a Bob’s Burgers episode
The shiny new adaptation of The Three-Body Problem, from the guys who did Game of Thrones, may be the biggest show on Netflix right now, but it’s not the only adaptation that’s worth watching. Sure, there’s also the longer, more thorough and faithful Chinese version of the series, but that’s not the one we mean, either. Nope, instead, the best adaptation of this story comes straight from the animated sitcom Bob’s Burgers.
