Apple TV+, obviously I couldn't find it on Netflix or Prime so knew it must be on one those other paid for channels I have somewhere just didn't know which one..

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Just finished episode 5 Really enjoying it, Love the feel of it and the visuals are stunning.. Without having read the books I don't have anything to compare it with regarding the story line so for me it's flowing ok, got a little lost at one point with some of the flicking back and forth but back on track now Episode 5 had a Tron/Star Wars feel about it in places but it is a really great watch..

The next 5 episodes will be better, at least they were for me... Gaal gets on my nerves almost every time I see her on screen, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they managed to get the basic storyline in compared to how the book/books were laid out?? Oh, I think originally they planned 8 seasons, and the 2nd one has already been greenlit! The storyline in the novels is not comparable with the series; it's so all over the place. It mostly borrowed the basic premise (psychohistory predicting the end of the Empire and the need of foundation to prevent a long Dark Age) and certain characters, but changed so many key events and character roles that there's hardly any point in comparing it anymore. At this point, I just view it as a completely new story, which shares some stuff with the original Asimov's Foundation. The Cleon storyline is not in the books at all, and I think it's the strongest part of the TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's a blessing not to have read certain books prior to the release of certain series for that very reason, For me with no path to follow I have just gone with the flow and it has been a seriously good watch..

Yeah, I think I had too high expectations in general. I do enjoy the show now, and will definitely keep on watching, but it's not the Foundation I wanted to see - if that makes any sense.
