Well, the last couple of days I've been watching the first couple of episodes of The 3 Body Problem, which is based on a book with the same title. I heard about the trilogy of books through the podcast Quinn's Theory.
I have to say that Quinn 's podcast got me interested in the Netflix show up on watching it I found the story boring and the majority of the characters not interesting. The only character I found remotely interesting was a scientist's daughter in Red China in the 60s flashbacks.
The story starts out with a bunch of scientists for no known reason commit suicide. Other scientists shut down their projects and quit science. Then we find out all the scientists are seeing a countdown in front of their eyes. A secret organization is investigating this with a former scientist. Weird things happen like the sky blinks and then a strange girl shows up periodically. Oh and then there is the weird VR game that challenges the people seeing the countdown.
Thing is even with all that I actually fell asleep on each of the two episodes I watched and I kept checking my phone because I wasn't excited or enjoying the show. That's pretty bad.
Seriously I'm just giving up on this show, and that is an amazing admission for me to say. This show just doesn't have anything for me and I got better things to watch.
If any of you are enjoying it. Good for you, but for me it was a waste of time.
