Unlike DUNE, which I’ve read a dozen times or more, I’ve never been able to make it past the first fifty pages or so of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation. It’s not from lack of trying. At the risk of being branded a heretic, the story just didn’t engage me the way other science fiction has.

Nonetheless, I was excited to hear of Apple TV+’s series based on Asimov’s books, and basically coming into this cold, after seeing the first two episodes, I came away pretty damn impressed. Reviews are saying it deviates from the source material, but having never read the source material, I am nonetheless entertained and have been drawn into the story. The cast is outstanding and the visuals are among the best I’ve seen on the small screen. (I especially like the design of the FTL starships, generating their own black holes!)

I’m eagerly awaiting more. Unfortunately Apple doesn’t let you binge until the season has run its course, so like with regular broadcast TV, I have to wait another week for the next installment.
