Clearly peeps who rate this show low are on a hurry to give ten stars to Foundation. Probably. Possibly maybe.
But in my humble, this show is the real 'hard sci-fi' in the core and one of the greatest show in 2021 tv-season. It is most definitely very much bingeworthy. Check out my other ratings to compare with yours and correlate. Do you even correlate?
Anyway.
First of all - four main actors, main in each storyline, are just superb. It is high concept show, and usually great acting are not main gem for this kind of shows, but boy oh boy. If you anything like me and do not chase heavy action pack in high concept sci-fi (say... prefer Alien over Aliens) and don't mind slow underlying 'drama of unknowing' you probably enjoy this show as much as I do. There is no woke wokeness agenda, but there is a great hidden decay of western civilization in which we trailing nowadays, and so many 'alien' and 'invasion' allusions as it can be. One can say 'where is the aliens dude' (tldr - ep.6) or 'so when the invasion' but this show is so much smarter than this 'in yo face' attitude, which is so silly trope for intelligent viewer. Invasion did a great job pretending to be a some sort of family drama (which it is in some sense) but in this case it's like Interstellar - family drama alright. Okay sure.
But let's see what's going to happen in second season. Epic or not, it's all what Foundation wants to be, and so, soooo lacks of IT.
Great job guys, for all involved. This is the Foundation we're looking for.
Also, if you known the term 'european caliphate' - this show clearly use many smart tropes from this direction.
