I stumbled upon the new Foundation TV series accidentally as I typically do not watch TV shows at all. The title Foundation reminded me of Isaac Asimov trilogy, psychohistory, epic science fiction - and I was not disappointed. The TV show really is epic :star_struck:, I liked almost everything about it. While the story is only loosely related to Asimov's novels, the authors did a great job of world building. The shining imperial capital Trantor, the genetic dynasty, the 3 brothers Dawn, Day, Dusk, their servant and master mind Demerzel. Hari Seldon, mathematician and magician, psychohistory, Terminus in the outer reach, and then of course the first Seldon crisis. It seems each major crisis plays out within one series (with 10 episodes). I was also amazed by the formidable cast, in particular Lee Pace as emperor Cleon. And stunned by the great visuals. Overall this is science fiction at it's best, can't wait for series 3 hopefully aired in 2025 :rocket:
