The only thing we need to care about is 3 Body Problem's entertainment value, which is readily apparent from the first few scenes. Logistical qualms aside, every episode leaves us with a compelling reason to watch the next — which is more than I can say for the lazily paced majority of Netflix originals.

Where Liu’s books repeatedly deepen and complicate our understanding of the aliens’ motives—and even whether, if they do plan to annihilate humanity to make room for themselves, that would be such a bad thing—the series is unequivocal in its depiction of them as an invasive threat, which makes the analogy to real-life migrants incoherent at best. Good thing the show seems to forget about it as soon as it’s established.
