Foundation plot

Hari Seldon, a mathematician, uses a new science called psychohistory to predict the end of the current Galactic Empire.

They do all this during the course of the fall of the Galactic Empire.

Foundation season 1

I have not read the books, but I understand why readers in my area are so enthusiastic. The Roman Empire-like decline of the Galactic Empire with a touch of science is a wonderful source of inspiration in that regard. The worlds also look ridiculously good - especially for a series. Only the writing and acting are incredibly dull. Sometimes cringingly infantile even. As a result, I ended up watching S1 with fresh reluctance. Foundation certainly has potential, but it needs to be better to establish something long-lasting.

3.0 * Reasonable foundation laid

Foundation season 1

The images are impressive, especially the fall from the elevator at Trantor. I think the series is bad in terms of content. There are scenes with interesting dialogues, but due to weak acting and writing it comes across as platonic and scenes are boring. The whole thing seems like something aimed at young teens. The romance comes out of the blue (literally at the first meeting excited glances are exchanged and at episode 2 they are suddenly together without explanation, with the necessary hug and kiss scenes).

I am also annoyed by the overly powerful main character. Earlier it is said that it is unique that she has been able to develop well in mathematics, while her home planet does not allow this at all. Later, however, she also turns out to be a chemist, biologist and professional survivalist. It has 0 character build and negated side characters.

The latter is especially bad. I feel like the supporting actors are just there to make mistakes, which the lead can then improve upon (like in the drilling practice scene).
