3 Body Problem: Countdown (2024)
Episode 1, Season 1
No suspension strong enough for my disbelief in the scientist couple

The opening scene is quite strong, and the rest of the China based scenes are not bad at all. The UK-based rom-com vibes, however, clashes terribly with the sinister grandeur of the plot and all immersion is lost. The worst offenders are the star scientist couple. It's not their look, it's their too-cool-for-school attitude that totally ruins the show for me. Every single scene with those two was cringeworthy and unwatchable.
I am not familiar with the books and the plot does capture me, so I will watch the second episode. But if acting and character likeability do not improve, it will be the last one.
