Foundation

To me Brother Day played by Lee Pace has become as enjoyable to watch as Daenerys played by Emilia Clarke in GOT. There's a lot of confusing, boring bits and vexing characters in the show but Brother Day keeps me coming for more.

Overall it's a quality show albeit flawed. But there's a lot of unique, and daring approach that still make this show worth a watch. Every scene and every new information that is revealed about Cleons is so engaging and interesting.

If you're into sci-fi I'd definitely recommend trying this show and giving it a shot at least till season two because it actually even improves in the second season.

Foundation is an intriguing sci-fi series that grows on you the more you watch it. At first, it can feel confusing-just as you're starting to get to know a character, they disappear, only to return much later, if at all. Then you're introduced to someone new, and the whole process of connecting with a character begins again. On top of that, events unfold across different locations, and the series makes massive jumps in time-particularly long ones between seasons.

I've completed Seasons 1 and 2. One of the show's strengths is that as each season progresses, the seemingly loose ends begin to tie together and make sense. Many odd or minor events and details-even from the very first episode-are only explained later in the season or in the finale. But if you keep your eyes and ears open, you might catch subtle clues that help you make sense of things as they unfold. Almost nothing is said without a reason. While Season 1 is built largely on suspense, Season 2 leans more toward action.

The series features numerous plot twists that help keep viewers engaged. Many come out of nowhere and aren't always happy or innocent-but that's part of the fun. In many ways, it resembles Dune, especially in tone and scale. However, one of Foundation's most distinctive traits is its pacing: at times, things move very slowly, only for the show to suddenly jump forward by decades, suggesting sweeping generational changes and the loss of familiar characters.

Season 3 episode 4: "we are called the second foundation" - seriously? "We are the second foundation" - that should be the line! Apart of that one little flow, I enjoyed this episode. I don't know about you guys, but this One of the moments I shared a tear for the math working out. Isaac Asimov figured it out before I was born. Even before AI was born he figured out the 3 laws of robotics. This episode was mind-blowing!

This series started quite mediocre. You have this part about psycho history with Hary Seldon which makes basically no sense and is unwatchable awful. To make it clear this part is on Asimov and it's by far the worst part of this show.

Then there is the good part about the genetic dynasty and the foundation itself. This part is not from Asimov especially the genetic dynasty is written by the showrunners and has nothing to do with Asimov. There might be some borrowed stuff from Ancillary Justice but it's basically its own thing and it's great.

In the 3rd season they decided something amazing to get rid of the bad part and stick with the great one. Now this show is one the best SF show you can watch.

S3 E1-5 was amazing lets hope they keep it up.

I remember watching the first couple episodes and not being very impressed. Not necessarily hating it, but not intrigued. It felt like a very traditional sci-fi series, akin to dune or star wars. A year or two later, i tried watching again... and now i'm somehow roped in and invested and binged most of the show well into 4 in the morning.

Great visual effects, music, vfx, product and costume design, even acting. Really intriguing clone concept (and a very obvious anagram for Cleon). Fantastic world building and i appreciated the non-linear storytelling. Interested to see where this series will take us!
