    I am loving Foundation. I’m really glad Apple TV has taken the chance to do series like these. My wife also really likes Loot, which is supposed to air their second season sometime this summer.

    Our next series will be Ted Lasso. I’m looking forward to watching it.

      IMO Foundation should be more accurately called Foundation and Empire (also the title of Asimov’s second book). The Empire storylines have generally been compelling. The Foundation storylines not so much. I hope that they address that imbalance in the second season. (And not by making the Empire stuff worse!)

        They would have to pick up the pace a lot.
        It might be a few seasons before they get there at this pace. The entire first season happens in the first few chapters of book 1…

          Yeah, but it’s a very loose adaptation of the novels and they’re spending a lot of time on Trantor. The stuff they’ve done with Cleon is the most interesting part of the show.

          Personally I’m looking forward to what they do with the Mule and Arkady (who was my favourite character in the trilogy when I was a kid). Assuming that the show makes it that far.
