Nathan L @NatronBomb Aug 4 Even after looking past the shortcomings of the first 2 seasons, this one made me quit. I don't care about any further seasons they make. The tone changed in this season - they lean into the violence and gore in gratuitous ways that were completely unnecessary. The writing in this season really undid any of the previous world-building that survived the childish attempts to "modernize" the characters. However, if all you care about is "girl power" you'll probably love this series. You'll also need to be a narcissist so you can project yourself into it. Such a waste of an IP. Such a shame. Hollywood is going through their own version of Idiocracy. I'm particularly upset with Apple for taking a leak all over such a great Novel series. Why can't people just make their own stories instead of trying to leech off the names and identities of other people's successes?

Some of the heaviest sci-fi fiction written is translated into something that's both intellectually ambitious and genuinely thrilling.

Overall the story didnt seem as "tight" as previous seasons but still very good, including the acting & effects. Season 4 is well underway as I write this but here's hoping Apple is able to stick with quality talent and let them do their jobs.

Apropos mess, the amount of gory violence that this season's writers inserted is unwarranted. The upside is the consistent, fantastic work of Lee Pace portraying in this season a different type of Day, with an uplifting story arc. Demerzel's (Laura Birn) character development is also worth the watch. See more Lavish C @RT31524559 May 25 Just like S1-2: Worst adaptation ever. It COMPLETELY betrays the CORE of Asimov's ideas and intentions . It turns everything into a pathetic personal melodrama full or emotional rhetoric in the worst woke/gen-z tradition, "polishing" it to align with the modern Disney woke bull-sci-fi. Asimov's work is intellectual and impersonal, all is about cycles and group dynamics, while this crap is hyper emotional and hyper individualistic. It's the same bs that Star Trek did with Discovery. Also the woke bs of all male white characters becoming female black ones, and THE core central character that unifies the Robot, Empire and Foundation series, Daneel the robot who was the true mind behind the creation of Psychohistory, of the Foundations, of the later Gaia etc, here it's a female, hyper emotional, with romantic/sexual bs going on, and while she manipulates the empire she has ZERO role in the rest. I can't express in words how DEEPLY I hate this work and its creators, without being banned :) See more Sinead K @RT31976091 May 19 I have come to Foundation late but I am so glad I did. I am basing my opinion solely on the show as I have never read the book. While all the seasons are slow starters, your patience is well rewarded with a compelling story. All I would say is that the story is carried by the more complex and well rounded Cleons and Demerzel (and to an extent Hari) which I think may be an issue going forward. Gaal's character started off well but is more a plot device than a fully fleshed person. The fact she doesn't blink or reflect on morally dubious choices is frustrating and any growth seems to be stunted. At the same time she's not an unlikeable character but I would really like to see some better character growth. I hope Apple see this one through. I couldn't stand another Wheel of Time type cancellation. Three seasons in and then pull the plug. Either commit to telling the story or don't bother. No one wants a partly finished product on the shelf. See more Read all reviews
