Considering a free trial of Apple TV so I can watch Foundation. Loved the book, and the pilot episode was solid.

Has anyone seen the full show and can recommend?

yeah. good one. waiting for season 3 👍

I loved it, solid sci-fi

Thanks!

I'm currently binge watching through "for all mankind", I like it too, lots of rockets, moon pr0n, but not near as good as foundation. Foundation is up there in the quality for sure.

Looking forward to it 🙏🤙

I have never read the book, but I enjoyed the show. I spoke with others who loved the book, and said the show changed characters and made choices that seemed “purely for woke signaling” and such. Some people blow that stuff WAY out of proportion though so I have no way to compare, but just a warning in case that sort of things annoys you. I know how infuriating even small things like that can be for a story you are already in love with 😆

That said, you should get Apple TV+ anyway. They have seriously high quality production and I’ve loved practically every show I’ve watched up there. Even the obviously political leaning shows don’t really sacrifice the story arc for it. Worth giving it a shot either way, imo.

That’s great feedback! I don’t care too much if a show or movie has a cultural angle… most do, in one direction or another, so I take that as part of it. I’m sold - excited to start this and I’ll definitely explore their other series 🤙🤙

Foundation show is pretty solid - more emphasis was placed on the empire, which was very interesting for me.

While you have Apple TV, be sure to watch 'Silo'. I didn't read that book series, but the show was great SciFi

Thank you! Definitely will. Silo looks awesome

I’ve seen all the episodes up to this point and it seems pretty cool. Not nearly as good as The Expanse though, which has a much different style of storyline and a series of books that are definite page-turners.

I’ve been meaning to watch the expanse - didn’t realize it was a book series as well! But I’ve heard amazing things about it. Thanks for the feedback ⚡️🤙

Each book is as thick as a dictionary so put on your five point harness and brew up a pot of joe before starting 🤙

😂 you’ve got it 😁🫡

Haven't read the books but have REALLY enjoyed the show.

Sweet, i just signed up 🤙
