Foundation 2021

Really well done. If you are familiar with the Isaac Asminov’s books, you can understand why his FOUNDATION series has not found its way into mainstream media before now. It began as a series of short stories in a magazine (so it doesn’t have a core of characters), it covers a vast expanse of time (so it is problematic in gathering an invested audience) and it is rather dated (the trilogy being written in the 1950s and the other 7 books spawned by a renewed interest in the 80s. However, it is arguably one of the most influential SciFi works (Does Dynastic Galactic Empires ring any bells for you? DUNE? STAR WARS?). Showrunner David S Goyer has proposed an 8 season arc for this fledgling project and if season one is any indication, this series has legs. It is beautiful, it is grand in tone, it gives us a core group of characters that span the massive time line, it has a talented cast giving layered performances and it has already been renewed by Apple TV+ For a second season. Without hesitation, I give this series an 8 (really well done) out of 10. [Epic SciFi]
