    3 Body Problem: It's got some problems, but a bad plot ain't one!

    Hello and Welcome to Realms! Realms is a fantasy and sci-fi newsletter. I am the writer and narrator of this publication. I consume tons of sci-fi and fantasy media that I think everyone should know about. In these two genres, I’ll be reviewing books, video games, podcasts, films, and TV shows. And just like Realms’ short stories, you’ll get reviews once a month. Never on the same week as a short story.  The Overview Netlix’s 3 Body Problem, directed by D&D (David Benioff, D.B. Weiss), is a wonderful adaption of very complicated, high-science material. This series takes the novel The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu, and brings ot to life in an enjoyable, yet notably more western way. There’s a lot of mixed press about this series, but I’m here to tell you that it’s very well done. A great entry in Netflix’s sci-fi empire (though I think Apple TV+ is edging them out more and more.) Thank you for listening! Until next time, Realm Walkers,  This is Zach and you’re reading Realms.
