    Foundation is the best sci-fi I’ve watched and I’ve seen a lot. The way they adapted it from Asimov’s books is so well done, just enough changes to modernise is and keep people who read the books guessing.

    Season 2 is a bit weak but 3 was great and the scope for future seasons is huge.

      I’m actually reading the books now, and it really feels more like the show was loosely inspired by the concept and not at all based on the source material.

      That being said… I like both! Definitely recommend the show to any sci-fi fans. It was fun.

      I partly disagree. It’s changed so much it only follows mostly the high points of the books. IMO the first season was really weak with some awful wooden acting and choreography. The cast have very much improved as the series has progressed and Pace, Birn, and Mann are best in show. The set and CG visuals are great.
