We’ll Call It… Our Sci-Fi Era: Constellation & 3 Body Problem

What this episode covers

In this episode we enter our sci-fi era as we discuss two recently released Sci-Fi shows, the space thriller Constellation (AppleTV) & the promised alien invasion hit, 3 Body Problem (Netflix). We explore the different themes in each, our “non-sciency” understanding of both, which admittedly is limited, and more importantly our views on whether they succeeded in achieving their goal of producing really good and compelling television. It may be new territory for the pod as we begin this journey of science fiction and some of our views may be controversial (based on the audience reviews we’ve seen) but what can we say? We’ve got high standards. We also give our recommendations of other sci-fi shows for your viewing pleasure.
