Foundation (Apple TV+) - Jared Harris Goes to Space... Again [SEE STAFF POST]
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
- OT
I'm not sure, but I believe Apple generally does weekly releases.
Foundation: The 'unfilmable' sci-fi epic now on our screens
Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels are among the greatest sci-fi books ever written – but no one has dared to film them, until now. The result is a true TV event, writes Neil Armstrong.

Really interesting article. Goyer has a massive personal stake in this adaptation, he's making it contemporary in theme, and he's shooting for the fences.
really hoping this is something special.
Sounds like this is Goyer's passion project... just like LotR was Jackson's. I am encouraged by this and hope it is a success so that we get the whole story.
I believe we are getting 3 eps. initial drop and then weekly starting next week with ep. 4.
I agree that it has the potential to be an amazing sci-fi series but time will tell. I am stoked for the premier but cautiously optimistic overall.
I'm looking forward to it. A little concerned that there are zero reviews for it yet.
Especially considering AppleTV, while I think it is low key the best bargain in streaming right now, is really missing that one mainstream penetrating hit that they can use to bring in a mass of new subscribers and catapult them up the rankings.
Logic tells me if they had the goods they would be dumping it on every critic that they could find to generate even more hype.

Would Ted Lasso not qualify? I've only seen one episode and I'm not even sure I love it but it seems to have penetrated the public mindset pretty well.
Low-key the best bargain? Yeah, though, for real. So many good series and originals, *especially* as I remember its launch lineup was pretty dismal at worst or lacking at best, depending on who you asked.

This article kinda sorta has a hint of a review buried in it.
But now, after four years of hard work there are 10 episodes of visually stunning, emotionally engaging, thought-provoking drama. They have already been made available to critics and are so richly layered that they bear an instant rewatch.
Space Roman Empire looks cool.
Also, was "genetic dynasty" a thing in the books? I don't remember it.

I'm reading the trilogy for the first time. Man I hope they get The Mule in there at some point.
Nope, they added that and some other stuff, diversified the cast and made it reflect modern issues instead of WWII-era issues.
For me, it sounds like an ideal modern adaptation. I'm really hoping this all comes together.
Interesting. When are we expecting the reviews to drop? There's still nothing on RottenTomatoes.
Awesome thanks. So hyped for this.
100% this. It certainly helps that I'm interested in the show itself, but if you tell me Jared is starring in something I will be there day 1.
midnight eastern. So for me I live in MST, so I get to watch at 10pm tonight. Can't wait.
Make the OT! It doesn't need to be fancy (in fact, the less images loading on a page the better for me).
It's a little odd, but Apple did provide critics the entire season, which is promising as they don't do that super often.
Just guessing here, but for the wider public Foundation isn't really known about let alone on their radars, so rather than release the reviews a week or two before release and people forget about it, they allow publication of the (hopefully) positive reviews at release when people can immediately watch and increase viewers.
