Personally I kinda liked the first season. It's better if you forget the original Asimov story and just watch it as its own thing because it diverges from it quite a bit.

Looking forward to see where they go after that ballsy season 1 ending. Lee Pace will continue to kill it no doubt.

I've read the whole series and absolutely love it, but I know that a direct adaptation would have been a failure.

I really enjoyed S1, they've taken some ideas from other Asimov universe series (Empire and Robots) and combined it into a pretty fascinating alternate take on the foundation universe.

It's visually stunning, has some great acting and direction and I'm really looking forward to S2

I've never heard of it before but I am gonna pick up the first book next week now.

Just keep in mind it is a pretty old book, and was originally a collection of short stories so it jumps around a bit.
