Probably nice if you haven't read the books, because the direction is spotless. But if you are a fan of the original story, it's a spit in the face of a masterpiece. The title, names and arcs are basically used for branding. It was predictable, the Foundation cycle is mostly dialogs spanned over hundreds of years. Little details is given to action, and characters, which are superficially developed and serve mostly the purpose of a vehicle for history, die of old age every few chapters or so. Very hard to adapt, and pretty much impossible to make money outside of the show, with the face of your actors, by selling toys or pretty symbols. Also, good luck keeping hooked the general public. There is no focus on sexuality, little humor, hardly anyone relatable, they talk a lot then goodbye. So they made it a block buster. It sure can work, but it's not Foundation. |
