"Netflix's '3 Body Problem': A Polarizing Perspective for Conservatives and Liberals"
Netflix's "3 Body Problem" series, based on Liu Cixin's novel, has sparked political interpretations among viewers, with conservatives seeing it as a critique of the left's authoritarianism and liberals perceiving it as a reflection of right-wing anti-science sentiments.

The series' creators emphasize that the show isn't a commentary on cancel culture but acknowledge the parallels between historical events and current societal dynamics.
