This article contains spoilers for 3 Body Problem episode 1.
Netflix has relentlessly promoted its latest big budget series, 3 Body Problem, as a science fiction epic.
Based on a trilogy of sci-fi novels from Cixin Liu, the show is full of speculative ideas and a storytelling canvas of the known universe. Going into episode 1, viewers have been primed to expect aliens at the very most or some outer space at the very least. Imagine their surprise then when episode 1 “Countdown” opens with the text “Beijing, Tsinghua University, 1966.”
As that text promises, the first five minutes of 3 Body Problem take place in Beijing, 1966 at a revolutionary rally known as a “struggle session.” Through the eyes of the young Ye Wenjie (Zine Tsung) we watch as her peers parade several academics onstage and humiliate them.

New insights are still being unearthed after Netflix dumped the viewership data for nearly its entire catalog from the first half of 2023, which includes more than 18,000 titles.
One of those observations is that young adult and female-centric content are doing especially well for the streamer. In fact, though The Night Agent is ranked No. 1 in terms of hours viewed, that’s really only because the data separates individual seasons of a series. Ginny & Georgia was actually the most-watched title from January to June on Netflix, with a combined 967.2M hours viewed between Seasons 1 and 2.
Season 2 of Ginny & Georgia debuted on January 5, and it alone racked up 665.1M hours viewed.
Season 1 tallied 302.1M (aka 30M “views”), likely reinvigorated by those catching up before watching the new episodes, as well as audiences who were introduced to the title for the first time.

Popular YouTube content creator Grace Helbig announced that she has breast cancer in a video on Monday. In her video, she said she received the cancer diagnosis about a month ago.
Helbig said she was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer, which she called “super treatable and highly beatable.” She was diagnosed after noticing a small lump on her breast.

Teens across America rely on educational TikTok videos for test prep. Soon, those students will have an opportunity to Revyze their study plans. That’s the name of a new app that is currently available in France and plans to expand to the U.S. in the near future.
With its vertical orientation and its swipeable video feed, Revyze is clearly inspired by TikTok. The main advantage of the new app is that it filters out non-educational content. That lets students focus on their studies, where Revyze — and its library of peer-to-peer videos — can be of use.
Revyze raised 2 million pre-seed round earlier this year. Per TechCrunch, the app debuted in its home country ahead of the annual baccalauréat test, an all-important exam for graduating high schoolers. A promotional campaign led to 35,000 downloads and a trip up the local app charts. If you speak French, you can check out some student testimonials,...
