Foundation

The visuals drew me in. Incredible settings, costumes, special effects, space action and gear. Top notch cinematography. Very artistic as well, in the creation.

I despised Lee Pace until I liked despising him.

A bit complex of a plot to keep up with casually. Seems like they strained beyond reason to cast it dei. A few main characters are annoying and don't have the elegance and quality as the overall costumes and settings . I watched primarily for the visuals.

In an era of sci-fi epic TV series (Andor, Dune Prophecy, LOTR) this is by far the most well thought through, written and delivered of the lot. A sprawling, centuries-long chess match between a dying galactic empire and a foundation of science working to preserve humanity's future. Its immense scale is matched only by its intelligence.

Can't rave enough about this program... from season one the show builds and weaves the multiple threads of the story through centuries of the Foundation and Empire. Traditional old school sci-fi married with 8k visual graphics and engaging story telling. Season 3 episode 5 is movie quality knock your socks off mind blowingly epic.

Please don't dilute the achievement of this production with nitpicking comparisons to the books it is based on. I truly thinks that Asimov himself would be the first to stand and applause if only he was here today.

I do not count myself an Asimov expert, nor had I been a big Foundation series fan during the first 2 seasons (though I did watch them). But this 3rd season has really caught my attention. Not meant as a knock on any of the prior show-runners or writers (I'm not familiar with the in's and out's within the prior production team(s)) but what I can say, being a sci-fi fan and television follower generally, is that Roxann Dawson is stellar behind the screen as a director and producer. Both in sci-fi/fantasy and more mainstream programming. While I thought she was great in Voyager as B'Lana, her work since behind the camera has been quite notable. And each time she gets involved with a series, like she has here, it thrives. Just sayin.

Makes Game of Thrones feel like The Powerpuff Girls

A banquet for the senses, a feast for the synapses- this show is the real deal

If you want a show that challenges you to read deeper, ask questions, venture to learn more about what it means to be human, to be a small, but crucial part of a civilization; to seek peace, to understand beauty, to investigate faith, to dissect geopolitical constructs on a core level- there simply isnt any other show~*

The depth of wisdom that drives this show is honestly mind-boggling. It presents an ostensibly true utopia, a future paradise for humankind wherein anything is possible but just barely an inch out of reach- and its utter collapse in the face of transcendence to godhood due to ambition and hubris is by far the most fascinating spectacle I've ever seen~*

This show is an achievement comparable with the establishment of a new language: a new society, an unearthed Olympus, riddled with Gods all competing for significance~*

The writing, the performances, the world-building, the construction of an entire universe heretofore beyond comprehension, bolstered by exceptional performances by Lee Pace and the rest of the cast~*

If true drama, heft and bedazzlement are what you require, then look no further than this- the Foundation- the core of what makes us human: the (frivolous?) search for the meaning of life~*

If you will, grapple with the war between religious fervor and scientific achievement, misguided enforcement of laws by man and true liberation, absolute truth and righteousness

Love and absolution
