I am not the fan of the video game, but I loved the first show, the story and each character…this one was terrible! I was in episode 4 and probably wouldn’t continue. The writing was bad, the story didn’t make any sense regardless the politic parts. All the “heroes” were so naive and powerless, yet talked so big without a plan vs the vampires/night creatures were so strong, could hardly killed. The story and characters were so boring; honestly I couldn’t care what happened to any one of them.

I was thinking, there weren’t many good sci-fiction movies over the years even though film tech has advanced so much! I figured if the excellent/classic sci-fiction movie like 2001 a space odyssey didn’t have significant special effects; a good script or the way to tell a story is the key of an interesting movie. I am an Isaac Asimov fan and I wonder why no one dared to invest into a series or few parts of a movie? When the news came out, I was excited. I understand it can be hard to bring the story alive, yet it is possible. I never dreamed the writers used just the names of the book and some characters to write their own stories. It is totally fine with them to write their own stories, but why used the name “Foundation”, Seldon, Raych, Demerzel and Hardin with nothing else in attach? Did the investors and writers think if they used the name “Foundation” and then all the fans would sign up to Apple TV? After 3 episodes, I stopped watching it. Be honest, I don’t really care what happened to Dornick or Hardin because I couldn’t relate the new characters to the books I read. I also couldn’t “develop a connection” to the new created characters. It is not the actress’s faults. Many stated it is hard to make a good movie out of a book! I think not. I just saw “Dune”. I enjoyed it very much and couldn’t wait for the part II. The movie followed mostly the storyline of the book and make it even better than reading the book. Therefore, it is possible to make a good series or movie from a book. It requires vision and skills. It is ashamed “Foundation” seemed lacking of both.
