4d agoThey clearly put a lot of money and effort bro this show and it shows. It has been a very long time that a tv show was so good that I wanted to watch the season again. Maybe I just want additional content but unfortunately there is not any. I was very pleased to hear of a second season. I love the concept of the show and how well they present it. The show covers a large time period and they do a marvelous job of doing so without making it overly complicated to follow. The characters and people are interrogate, well thought out, and amazingly tied into the story. Very rarely does a Science fiction tv show come along that is this good. If you have not seen this, I highly recommend it.

5d agoLove this show! Can't wait for season 2. I see a lot of purists that read the novels by Isaac Asimov harping on this show because it doesn't follow his storyline very well. I mean really, when is the movie ever better after one's read the book? I haven't read the books so I can't really compare, but I thought it was a such a riveting story about the evolving and devolving of the human race expanding across galaxies with just jaw dropping cinematography. They've even added some very cool plots that I'm told the book doesn't even contain. Love also seeing such a diverse and brilliant cast. I've also seen many say there is no way the Foundation novels could be truly recreated for the screen, so give it up people and just enjoy the masterpiece the screenwriters have created using Asimov series as a loose guide.

Jan 20, 2023The show had a few slower paced moments but I liked the variety of the type of actors and actresses that are in the show. The characters were interesting and the visuals were actually pretty incredible. Some parts of the show were a little slow and they were meandering a bit. Some episodes had really great short stories.

Jan 19, 2023"It takes more power to build than to burn." Oh the irony of that statement - lost on the writer and director of this series." May they be blessed forever by company of brother Day, to entertain him daily, only to forget and restart the cycle each dawn - a fate of, and worthy of, this, their creation.

Jan 15, 20233 stars, it has it's highlights but also a lot of plot holes and problems. First the good thing. The Empire plot is really good and Lee Pace performance is great. As for Terminus? It's below the average. The plot is bad from beginning to an end. From simple nitpicking like strength of armor on the ship, where bullet from turret is not enough to damage it and yet simple pistol can penetrate ship armor, to much, much bigger problems. Phara evil plans and how they play out works only, because characters around her suddenly act really stupid and everyone has short term memory. The whole conflict on Terminus and how it plays out in the end treats viewer as an idiot. I read books a long time ago and I do understand that a lot needed to be changed in order for the series to not feel like slow boring documentary. As I said I really liked Empire plot, because the spirit of the book is preserved. Hell, even it it was completely changed it actually is really entertaining to watch and follow. I can't say the same about Foundation plot. Not only is it not interesting, it also is full of stupid characters, problems and contradictions. For the fans of books, the whole concepts of psycho-history is butchered, so they probably won't be happy about this. I really hope the writers in second season study the source material a little bit more. Not to recreate it, but to get inspired and make something better for the Foundation plot, just like they did with the Empire plot.

Jan 15, 2023Leah Harvey's acting put a sour taste in my mouth and is not convincing in the slightest. She has the same constipated look and tone in every scene. The visuals are great though
-
Jan 15, 2023It was an extremely innovative and different first season, whose flaws are almost entirely attributable to pandemic restrictions. While there are some pacing and scope missteps, it's clearly a setup to a fantastically grand tale. I eagerly await future seasons and an optimization of the storytelling.
-
Jan 14, 2023A blend of well thought and heavy handed alterations of the the source material, the show is totally devoid of Asimov's typical wit and playfulness. The excellent actors' performance and the stunning visuals can't prevent Foundation from crumbling under the weight of its own gravitas. Striking half a star out for the show's damning incapacity to instill a sense of the galaxy's vastness nor to give the audience a grasp of the action's locations.
-
Jan 14, 2023It's an okay show with nice looking CGI and good actors doing a great job. That said, I think it strays too far from the source material and the story is a bit rushed. Also, please stop it with the self-righteous and bratty protagonists. It's almost a cliché.
