The Netflix series 3 Body Problem has gained millions of viewers since its debut on March 21, 2024. Coming off the heels of the success of HBO’s Game of Thrones franchise, creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff teamed up with Alexander Woo to create the series  adaptation which has already received high acclaim, but mostly in the West. There are viewers in China who strongly disagree. They say the show strays too far from the book that inspired it - Chinese writer Liu Cixin’s award-winning science-fiction epic The Three Body Problem, the first novel of Liu’s trilogy Remembrance of Earth’s Past.
