Foundation: Season 1

"Even as Foundation stumbles throughout its execution, it still maintains a grip on the unconditional hope of its characters."

"An impenetrable show that looks like several million bucks but feels as if it lacks the tools to save itself, much less all mankind."

"Has been reinvented as something more accessible, more vibrant, more action-driven, sexier, and yes, more fun in the traditional sense of the word."

"This iteration of "Foundation" thrives most when becoming something all its own."

"The time jumps are confusing and the story needs a clearer arc."

"There is no saga too epic for a little levity, and here it might have made some of the characters more believable."

"Comes off as a 10-episode pilot for later seasons - one just good enough for us to want to stick with the show."

"Its emotional expanse ... is a bit more of a question, but the show sucks you in a great deal."
