Judging from the first batch of word-of-mouth reviews, Netflix's adaptation has received mixed reviews.

There's nothing wrong with the characterization and casting, but it lacks any truly impressive performances. After watching the first episode of the Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem", a reporter from the "indiewire" website also believed that the creators of the series almost rewrote the original protagonist and set the tone for the entire drama with a cold and disturbing first scene. The show does raise some questions about what's the point of human life when the world ends, but it only provides literal answers, and when it gets to a deeper level, it yields only cynicism and rudimentary clichés. In addition, there are some old problems in Benioff's works, such as inappropriate handling of race and gender issues, and some indifference to metaphors. The problems in the Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem" are still too difficult to appreciate.
