Netflix’s new sci-fi series, 3 Body Problem, debuted on Thursday and, yes, dedicated binge-watchers, the entire season is available. The eight-episode series is based on a trilogy by Chinese novelist Liu Cixin. We won’t give too much away, but the mind-bending Netflix show in part sets the story in 1960s China, where a young woman’s fateful decision “reverberates across space and time into the present day.” Netflix’s plot synopsis teases danger to mankind: “When the laws of nature inexplicably unravel before their eyes, a close-knit group of brilliant scientists join forces with an unorthodox detective to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.”Â
The series comes from Game of Thrones co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and True Blood producer Alexander Woo. It not only spans multiple genres but transports viewers to various periods and locations, from China during the Cultural Revolution to the present-day UK and into a strange virtual reality game. With big stakes, recognizable cast members from Thrones and plenty of intrigue, here are some more details on the thought-provoking sci-fi show that may soon hold your attention.
 3 Body Problem is in part a mystery, its ominous official trailer stating that “someone or something” is targeting top scientists.Â
When will the series come out?Â
