Over eight episodes, 3 Body Problem shows us the utter horrors that humans can inflict upon each other and the environment. But it also shows us the love and compassion people can feel for each other. Are we all just bugs begging to be squashed, as the San-Ti believe? Or are we worth saving? The show leans in an optimistic direction… but it’s also ambiguous enough to make you wonder.

3 Body Problem is now streaming on Netflix.
