Foundation

I'm not familiar with the source material but after a brilliant opening episode, Foundation never quite lives up to the promise, but remains watchable due to some interesting themes and narratives and some great performances from the likes of Harris and Llobell. Unfortunately there are also some storylines and performances that are weak or mediocre at best which impacts the overall enjoyment but there's still a Foundation to build on here in future seasons ... pun intended!

Essentially Star Wars for grownups, in the sense that it's a sprawling, beautiful space opera, in service of some truly intersting hard sci-fi concepts.

Feels similar to Raised by Wolves, in its cold clinical feeling approach to sci fi. I am a big fan of the genre but have to say, the leaping around in time is a bit much and ultimately confusing. I will stick out the first season, but so far its not high on the list to continue if it remains at this quality level.

Season 1

I thought this series was fantastic. Multiple fascinating worlds and characters, and a large, multi timeline plot that is crazy to follow but I think has so far paid off really well, but I'm also really excited to see where it goes next. The show also looks brilliant, especially in HDR.

Convoluted show that can only be enjoyed by die-hard science fiction fans.

If you get an inkling of attachment to a character, guess what - they dead in the next scene. But “luckily” more come along out of a revolving plot door. Characters that feel sympathetic make bizarre 180 psycho turns. There’s no motivational consistency. It’s also enormously dissatisfying to see their every endeavor go to shits. Everything is plot-driven which makes the characters redundant. They could be replaced by any other. Only watching because my fam, Laura Birn and Lee Pace who is hot af.

You might like it better if you don't compare it with the original material, Asimov's books, but how can you not think about that while watching an adaptation?

S1: very loosely based on the novels, solid high-concept sci-fi series with great acting and great settings. S2: completely divorced from the novels, space opera with fantasy elements that irk me. Still great acting/scenery/sfx, but pushes my suspension of disbelief just a little too far. Derails a bit towards the end, but enjoyed the rest greatly.

Entertainment: 3.5. Spirit: 0.5. Sustainability: 1. Family: 1

Sinematografisi öve öve bitirilemeyen çoğu dizi ya da film genelde kurgusal açıdan sıradan, hikaye anlatımına göre ise epey zayıf kalıyor. Foundation da bu tezimi güçlendiren dizilerden biri. Usta işi bir görüntü yönetmenliği ve renk çalışması var, besteler mükemmel ama hikaye oldukça ilgi çekici janraya ait olmasına rağmen kendini izletemiyor...

Muslim terrorists in 300th century? Piss off with that, you racist xenophobic twats! Other than that it's a decent enough show with some strong, and some not so strong performances. Writing is generic, but passable enough if you're able to switch off your brain and just have fun. Have I mentioned how disgusted I am with US American portrayal of Muslims? Yeah, you can put your required percentage of black people and minorities in the show, but you're still racist to the core.

Awful so far. Not related to the books in spirit. A lot of care was taken creating flashy explosions; seems nobody cared to check the script with anybody with a degree.
