In Season 2 of 'Foundation' the Apple TV+ sci-fi epic is addressing the biggest challenge of the Isaac Asimov books. Here's how the new characters in the show make the books even better.

The title comes from the article, but I agree with some of these changes. It’s making for an engaging show that also feels modern.

    Its like… actively bad.

    The only parts I have actually found engaging enough to watch are the parts centered around the emperor. Unfortunately, everything to do with Hari Seldon and Salvor Hardin so far is at best kinda inconsequential, and at worst so cringingly over-acted and poorly written that I genuinely cannot understand how it got past focus groups.

    Not to mention, there is SO. MUCH. Expository narration… I guess the writers didn’t get the memo about “show, don’t tell”.
