Foundation suffers from it's origins as a series of disjointed short stories in the pulp magazines of the era that were later lightly edited into books. They are chock full of generic characters standing around discussing interesting ideas with very little action.
There was no way to turn it into a television show without major rewrites.
However, Invasion is my call for the weakest scifi show they've done.
- importantbrian 3y agoI actually really enjoyed season 1 of Invasion and then DNF'd season 2.
- eszed 3y agoHard agree. I never bothered to look it up, because we were so disappointed, but it was like they changed writers or show-runners to people who didn't appreciate the material, but everything we liked about the first season was changed. No more slow burn mystery, with lots of character-based world-building, and protagonists out of their depth putting things together from a limited perspective (with the audience usually one step - but only one - ahead of them). The second season is action heavy, with characters reduced to tropes who seem to have had a knowledge download and all become "special". I've seldom been more disappointed in a continuation of something I loved.
- baq 3y agoOh crap I've watched Invasion and don't understand why I did it to myself. Totally forgot about that show. Do not watch.
