Personally I kinda liked the first season. It’s better if you forget the original Asimov story and just watch it as its own thing because it diverges from it quite a bit.

Looking forward to see where they go after that ballsy season 1 ending. Lee Pace will continue to kill it no doubt.

    I love the books. I’ve read the original trilogy three times, as well as heard the BBC radio dramatization (from the 1970s). My anticipation for this series was sky-high.

    Halfway through Season One I stopped watching, baffled in an uninterested way about how they dropped everything that had the original Foundation spirit, I recognized the names of most characters and some planets, but everything in between was crammed with Goyer’s self-important posturing, insistence on mystery boxes and artificial cliffhangers.

    The books will live on, they are immortal. The series, not so much, it will age quickly and badly.
    Thank God we also have Villeneuve and Dune right now.
