But looks intriguing!  edit: Apparently he wasn't an alcoholic on Mad Men. But I still remember him from that show, mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have missed out on that show. It's not on my streaming services.  But yes, great actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 21, 2021 Looking forward to this one. Its really hard to adapt these books into an actual TV show but it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 24, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just watched the first episode. The production value and the visuals are nothing short of amazing... I like the actors, too; especially the two main leads and the emperor. There are quite a few deviations from the novels, but that's understandable, and I really like it so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 25, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted September 25, 2021 Alright, so I really liked the first episode and was full of hope... And then I watched the second one fucking hell, they managed to make a mess of it in less than two hours in total. A story of grand galactic politics, science, religion, hundreds of years of history and fantastic worldbuilding is being pushed to the background in order to add some forced, silly and completely unnecessary love story and melodrama. What a shithouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted October 1, 2021 So is nobody else watching this? I just finished Episode 3, so relieved to find it a huge improvement after disappointing previous episode. The show is starting to pick up now. It's different from the books, but I really love what they are doing with the emperors storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted October 20, 2021 Five episodes in, I'm quite enjoying it, but still reserving my judgement. One thing for sure, it's a very loose adaptation with so many changes, that at times it feels like it's a completely different story which simply borrows the name and some elements from the original Foundation. Will definitely keep on watching though, there are some plotlines that I really like, and I'm also very eager to see how the story develops.
