In Episode 5 of 3 Body Problem, we reach Red Wedding levels of savagery.
With the big Judgment Day showdown, we wade into uncharted waters. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen something like this on TV,” says Eiza González, who plays scientist Auggie Salazar in 3 Body Problem, the sci-fi thriller series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and True Blood writer Alexander Woo.
“The Judgment Day sequence in the book was one of those ones that we talked about before where you just think, ‘Oh man, I really want to see that on-screen [and] see it done right,’ ” says Benioff. It took director Minkie Spiro a minute to grasp the epic nature of the scene. “I’ve read the [script] countless times trying to fathom, ‘How am I going to visually pull this off?’ ” she says.
