Yeah. That was one hell of a ride too. Honestly haven’t been disappointed in anything I’ve watched on it. Foundation kinda fell apart in S2 for me but that’s it.

I love Foundation. Even if it kindnof waffles, it’s so epic that i hope it continues forever many seasons (like The Expanse)

All this did is make me sad the expanse didn’t keep going.

The quality took a nosedive in the last (two?) season(s), IMHO. It went from being the single greatest SF show in recent existence to being utterly forgettable. For me, at least.

The final seasons had like two different sets/locations and a lot of heads explaining what was happening. Didn't care much for it.

That's crazy season 2 was better in every way than season 1

Totally agree. I almost gave up in season 1. The writing got so much better and kept me hooked through season 2. I especially loved the end with Day.

I read about that too before starting but have to disagree. I like the smaller scope of S1 more than the twenty storylines of S2. Am having trouble getting myself to finish S2.

Fair enough but every epic opens up as it progresses. It's inevitable. In my opinion the way foundation handle it is among the better.

The acting is certainly better, too

I’m so stoked for more Dark Matter.

I love the empire storylines but loath the others, especially the Gaal and Salvor storyline, just so lame and cringe.

If you’ve watched season 2 episode 9 of foundation and then said that, I can’t

Foundation picked up speed for me in S2! S1 laid down the universe and ground rules, but S2 was a wile ride, especially watching the Empire fall apart bit by bit. Desperate to see S3 already!

I love Foundation even if S2 was a bit mid. Did you watch Constellation? I LOVED that series. Really upset Apple didn’t renew it

Foundation is an abomination that insults the original work.
