Foundation
 

Came across this and I am very very excited. It looks like some quality scifi and I am especially encourage as it is by Apple and they have an excellent track record with series like For All Mankind and See. It starts in September and will feature on the new Fall TV Schedule in a couple of weeks.

I've been wanting someone to try to film it for a very long time. I've only read the first book (though I've recently got a pile of the others to rectify that) but it's always stuck with me.

It is the sort of story that may be difficult to make though. I'm glad it's TV, it'll probably suit it more than the short running time of film.

Re: Foundation
 

The Foundation books are great and then they sort of merge into Azimov's other series. It's the subtleties rather than the big showy bits that make it so interesting but that is likely of less appeal.

Re: Foundation
 

Well it certainly looks good, time will tell.

Re: Foundation
 

It is things like that that make all the difference and put that magical touch on a series. The more detail and depth there is to the characters and story then the more believable and realistic they are.

Watched this the other day. It's certainly looking epic, film level looks and yet it seems to have got the complexity and detail based on what's seen.

Currently reading Foundation And Empire and so far loving it as much as the original book all those years ago.

Re: Foundation
 

I am really looking forward to it. It is going to be good having another proper quality scifi series to watch when The Expanse ends.

Re: Foundation
 

I expect I'll never see that, so will have to read the books.

Re: Foundation
 

You should bump straight to the top of your list of things to do, it is penomenal.

Re: Foundation
 

I've got the quite the book backlog, and some of those are Foundation series, so I'll be sticking with those for a wee while yet. I'll probably have to see of the Library has them, I can't justify the money currently.

Re: Foundation
 

I was talking about being less sophisticated and watching it on tv instead.

Re: Foundation
 

Amazon's in my bad books and that's unlikely to change any time soon, so unless it's on DVD or Blu-ray that's off the cards...and rather similarly to books I have a fair few TV series I'm already working my way through.

Re: Foundation
 

The first two episodes seemed just fine to me, looking forward to E03.

Re: Foundation
 

Amazon? This series is on Apple+.

I’ve watched most of the first episode - quite impressed so far!
