Personally I kinda liked the first season. It’s better if you forget the original Asimov story and just watch it as its own thing because it diverges from it quite a bit.

Looking forward to see where they go after that ballsy season 1 ending. Lee Pace will continue to kill it no doubt.
That episode with the middle emperor proving himself. Fucking amazing TV
I found that there were two stories, one with with emporers which was really compelling and another story with the Foundation which was really dull which is why I give it an overall rating of 5/10
I actually get the feeling this started out as a totally different series about an empire of clone rulers existing over millennia, and they struggled to sell it so they reworked it into a hodgepodge adaptation of bits from every major asimoverse book combined and time-shifted into one series.
I get that feeling a lot. Season 1 of Star Trek Picard makes way more sense if you think it started out as some kind of Blade Runner fan fiction that was clumsily smashed into Star Trek.
When Alexander Siddig (Dr. Bashir) showed up for like five minutes I was like “Wait no! Don’t go!” as his scene was ending.
