In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant production designer Deborah Riley, the creative force behind Netflix's much-anticipated series, "The 3 Body Problem." Known for her breathtaking work on "Game of Thrones," Deborah dives into a new realm where historic and scientific realities collide with fantastical elements. From vividly recreating 1960s Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution China to orchestrating a jaw-dropping scene in which a ship is diced up in real time, Riley's work provides a visual feast. We also discuss the sleek VR helmet she designed, a potential key to saving the universe in the plot of the story. With painstaking research and stunningly intricate designs, Deborah lays a foundation of believability amidst an epic, existential planetary threat. The series has more than 3 billion minutes watched since its March release and spent seven weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10. Are you a fan of TV and film production?
