The production value on this is visablly fucking insane. What a gorgeous show. And with only 2 episodes out I am already hooked like haven't been by a show in a long time.

Should have been labeled 'loosely based on the books by Isaac Asimov'.... Absolutely butchered the books... Disgrace... Woke nonsense On a positive note, it is beautifully made and the actors do an excellent job.

There are comments saying "butchered the books" etc. Darn.. I've read them too, I love them too, but to be honest you're wrong. God damn it... read the fricking description: "Based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov(...)" it's not even adaptation. So don't expect it to follow the same story-line, don't expect the same characters, finally don't expect it to be reflection of the book. Show is brilliant. I love it.

This is not Foundation. Asimov would turn in his grave. Too much action and explosions and Hollywood and none of Asimov's power of logic. Where are those dialogues where the winner is the wisest? Too much testosterone. At this rate, they will do 10 seasons or more.

Disappointed.

First off, this should not be billed as Isaac Asimov's Foundation, but rather "sort of kind of similar in the first two episodes". I'm a huge fan of Asimov, and most people don't know that most science fiction is based on the ideas of Foundation and the entire series of books follo More

Foundation's Story is badly written making it disjointed and uncompelling. Characters are poorly written and performed without much charisma. Direction is not much to speak of, with no good action scenes, no dramatic beats and certainly no humor. This is a flatline.

David S. Goyer is the Producer More

Title: Foundation - Apple TV+ Delivers a Galactic Triumph

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Foundation, Apple TV+'s adaptation of Isaac Asimov's classic series, is a tour de force in the sci-fi genre. Visually stunning and intellectually riveting, the series expertly captures the grandiosity of Asimov's More

Managing to put a series of Books into a series is no easy task especially when it covers 1000 years.

It isn't a series for everyone when you consider this, and that Isaac Asimov isn't just an advanced sci-fi writer but also a visionary almost one century before us. It is a case of love or hate e More
