I read a lot of Asimov in high school and for whatever reason I didn’t like Foundation. I also didn’t like the TV series though I will probably watch season 2.

I read a lot of Asimov in high school and for whatever reason I didn’t like Foundation. I also didn’t like the TV series though I will probably watch season 2. It was visually appealing but I found it to be somehow flat. Like, the damage from the collapse of the space elevator - IIRC this was described to great effect in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars series - but in Foundation it really felt underwhelming. (That said: “Three Colours Mars” I would definitely watch!) Also quite weird to see Lee Pace as Empire, since the series I’d just finished was Halt and Catch Fire (recommended). The one Apple TV show I really enjoyed was Severance. That was amazing.
