Foundation the TV show was so interesting to me that it pushed me to read the book series.

I'm currently up to Foundation and Earth. The show is different, but I like the changes they made for the show, especially to the emperor's lineage. The show would be painfully boring if it was filmed in the style of the books with characters talking about what happened instead of showing.

I personally find the mentalics aspect of the books kind of lame, unscientific, and God like. I hope the show does not lean so heavily into them as it continues like the books have, but seems inevitable as I read through the book series.

Severance and For All Mankind get all the hype but See, Silo, and Invasion have all been great. The only true miss in their sci-fi shows for me has been Constellation. The only more boring sci-fi show I can think of is Beacon 23.

I have to admit the Emperor parts were a bright side of Foundation, and Lee Pace acts the fuck out of that role. Sadly, even though he was magnificent in The Expanse (and Chernobyl), it seems like there isn't much Jared Harris can do with Professor Hologram.

Beacon 23 was my least favorite sci-fi show in a while. Ugh.

Harris was also good in The Terror, which was a messy show but made me a big fan of the actor (Cirian Hinds was also good).
