Foundation was better than I expected. They did a great job of ending the episodes and you wanting to see the next one. Some real cliffhangers Spoiler I have read Foundation trilogy, multiple times. Even read the nearly 15 novels in order the way Asimov recommend in an essay the last time I read them. Asimov's reading order (suggested by Asimov himself) - MORE Libraries Foundation series is NOT Asimov Foundation BUT that does not make it bad. Some characters are from Asimov but the story is new and for the most part the characters are new... is what it is. I expected to hate it... why I stayed away. BUT it is fine as long as you are not expecting Asimov's Foundation in anything expect executive overview fashion
