LordJuar A Thia season was great. The issue of the time jumps is over, so the story is much easier to follow. However the stakes keep getting raised, which is a lot of fun to watch. Again the visuals and music in this season are amazing. The writing in this season is awesome, I love how everything continues to domino and the cleonic dynasty is still just as fascinating as the first season. Whomever is in charge of creating the sets, knocks it out of the park in every scene. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/25 Full Review Nathan G Stomached the first season and put it down. Then I saw how rave reviews the second got and thought they fixed it. I got to about episode 4. It’s not just that this is so completely opposite the themes or stories of the book. It’s just how poorly it’s written. Simple stuff. Bel Riose’s husband reports directly to him. Never. A planet where one side always faces the Sun for growing grapes, but that would be a fiery hellscape. Hari Seldon has fourth dimensional folding space objects, and can upload his brain to a computer to become immortal. Technologies leaps beyond anything ever mentioned in the empire or foundation. That’s just world breaking entirely. All the relationships seem very shallow at best. It’s just badly written and badly paced. Which is unfortunate. There were some good new ideas in the beginning. The execution has just been appalling.

The empire storyline is still intriguing. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/25 Full Review Chris M There are some amazing actors giving great performances. That's the good news. The bad is that it is an insipid and pointless rewriting of an amazing story. I understand that this was considered by many to be a difficult story to translate onto film, and clearly the shows answer to this was to simply ignore the story completely, invent new characters and a completely different story, and ignore every theme and nuance that made the novels so beloved and revered. Demerzel is supposed to be Daneel Olivaw, the oldest robot in existence, guiding humans towards a grander purpose. He is the one who planted the idea of psychohistory into Seldon's mind, and maneuvered all of the pieces necessary for him to complete his work and establish the foundation. He doesn't clone Cleon. Clean and Gaal are supposed to be throwaway characters, they don't do much of anything, especially the latter, who barely exists as more than a way of introducing Seldon into the story and is not mentioned again. The characters that were made female are constantly wining and more concerned with their love life's than with moving the plot forward, and the characters that were female don't exist at all. The creators didn't understand how Asimov used religion as a tool for the foundation to thrive in it's infancy, the foundation never saw it as anything except a way to control the weak, and quickly moved past that when they were able to reach the next phase in their development. This was made by people who wanted something shiny to entertain people with, which on it's own is fine, but next time they should come up with an original idea, and not beat a masterpiece to death with their stupidity and ignorance. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Craig B Foundation is a very impressive SciFi series. Well-written with plenty of intrigue and action sequences, and great character development and casting. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Read all reviews
