One of the most ambitious movements in recent years by Netflix was the signing of David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, showrunners of the very popular ‘Game of Thrones’, in exchange for a whopping 200 million dollars. It cannot be said that the platform has made much of that investment profitable so far, but that could change drastically thanks to ‘The three-body problem’.
Announced with great fanfare in the summer of 2020, the series has not yet premiered and has already suffered its first setback, as a Chinese television adaptation of the same novel was recently released. It is clear that the differences between the two versions are going to be tremendous and now the time has come to review everything we know about ‘The problem of the three bodies’, Netflix version:

The history
