Six episodes in, sometimes 3 Body Problem seems immense, other times a tad too similar to other Netflix time/dimension-bending fare (1899, Bodies, et al).

With too many characters involved, the story flattens most of them into archetypes: Jack is the comic relief. Will is the martyr. Saul is—well, he’s a blank slate. .... To be clear, there is much about the adaptation I enjoy. I get a kick out of realizing which portions of the trilogy the show’s creators have chopped up and rearranged, delighted to be shown parallels among characters I had not previously noticed, and still find Benioff and Weiss to be great at writing memorable, economical dialogue. The visuals are also cool, the aliens appropriately enigmatic, and the performances excellent.

You would be forgiven for feeling that it's going to be more trouble than it's worth to attempt to become emotionally invested in it. But that feeling quickly wears off — in short order, it's off to the races. Part of this is down to the ramping up of the dramatic tension, as the mysterious science fiction elements of the story become more clear.
