Isaac Asimov was THE author who introduced me to science fiction. I devoured Foundation, the Robot novels, and pretty much everything he ever wrote. So, when Apple TV+ launched their Foundation series, I was very excited… and quickly disappointed.
The show took wild liberties with the source material and at first I struggled with that.
But recently, I went back. Rewatched the end of Season 1. Picked up Season 2. And somewhere along the way, I let go of what it wasn’t… and started appreciating what it is.
It’s not my Foundation. It’s a new interpretation. And when I stopped comparing, I started enjoying the story they’re telling—on its own terms.
If you're a fan of Asimov and walked away like I did… maybe give it another shot.
You might be surprised.
