3 Body Problem (2024)
Such a disappointment
And no, I have not read the books. I did not even know about them until reading some reviews.
In fact, I did not know anything about this show when starting it. I haven't even seen a trailer.
At first it seemed really interesting and unique.
For the first couple of episodes I found it captivating and couldn't stop watching because I wanted to know what was going on here.
By episode 3 I still wasn't sure what it was about and I loved that!
I was excited I finally found a new sci-fi show that is not the typical popcorn-watch and seemed to be more clever than that. Just something new, you know?
But well, I was wrong.
As soon as the secret is out and we find out what is happening it got progressively more boring by the minute. I did not get the clever story I was excited for but a rather typical sci-fi story that I felt like I've seen a hundred times before.
So in conclusion.. cool, mysterious beginning with a few things that SEEMED like it was leading to something clever and unique but turn out just MEH .. what a let down.
A Murder at the End of the World: Chapter 7: Retreat (2023)
Powerful message
People who expect a crazy ending with a complicated twist (or even some mind-blowing sci-fi ending) that you didn't see coming will probably be disappointed about this one but in my opinion that's not what it is about, actually it is kind of the point.
It sends out a powerful message, I'd even say several messages, which felt so true they pierced my heart.
Even though she doesn't always make the most smartest choices, I loved the main character Darby and could relate to her in very human ways.
Same goes for Bill, who touched me deeply.
Their relationship felt real, not perfect, actually kind of flawed, but very real and heartwarming as well as, at times, sad. Their chemistry was perfect. The kind of chemistry you can't replicate. Not sure when was the last time I felt that kind of thing on screen.
If you like shows with meaning, I'd say give it a try.
Don't expect a second The OA (and I'm saying this even though it's my most favorite show of all times) but let it stand on its own.
Zal & Brit are brilliant writers and created another wonderful piece of art.
