Foundation - TV Series (2021)
- Thread starter Malevolence
- Start date
Just watched this, though it can be a bit of a slog at times as put above mostly it was going somewhere with it at least.
Overall I quite enjoyed it but ultimately just missed the mark on what could have been a truly epic show - especially the way some storylines happen out of time from each other could have been both much better utilised and presented better - at times that aspect was quite vague to the viewer.

Consider me stoked.

Oh yes, I'll be having some of that 
It's not really your traditional scfi story. I guess it's hard to bring the books to the screen.
If season 1 was anything to go by definitely a show which benefits from being bingeable or at least several episodes at once, otherwise can be a bit of a slog.
And also no blinding intro screen, I had already pre-squinted for it haha..
But yea, solid episode.

I was bracing myself for that blinding intro too!
They certainly didn’t skimp out on the cgi budget. Episode 1 looked beautiful.

Its very good but i still dont really like the 2 younger actresses, they just dont have screen clout.. Something irks me with their performance, they are very Dr Who level where everything and everyone else is almost Movie level production...

Funny enough I was thinking along those lines last night - some of the performances are very good, even some of the support cast who only get a few moments of screen time really do a great job, but then you get those which are kind of Dr Who level very pedestrian acting.
First episode of season 2 was a strong one as mentioned above.
Could be worse, one of the accents the fake sounding one irks me though.
but their acting does stand out a bit when some of the cast are such great actors.

The "American" one? The tough protector whatever she was. I cant remember their names.... Shes awful, the fakeness of that accent. Worse than Dr Who her
Salvor hardinThe "American" one? The tough protector whatever she was. I cant remember their names.... Shes awful, the fakeness of that accent. Worse than Dr Who her
.
Why bother with a fakr American accent that sounds atrocious ?
If they want an American accent or whatever its supposed to be then.... why not just get an American to do it....
skip to like 3:13
Actual voice of the actress
The other one in the foundation video above sounds kinda Australian in the series but google says shes British too, so I guess another fake accent but seems more natural.
it annoy me because you can tell its someone acting and doesn't seem right, it's like some weird uncanny valley thing
other than that I guess she plays the character well enough, but I never read the books so for me they are all clean slates anyway

Anyone enjoying this season thus far (2 episodes)? The opening credits don't blind you at least on an OLED.
Some aspects are great, others less so. Hoping it improves as the season plays out as it is so far removed from the books, from what I recall anyway!

Most of it I think, Empire is absolutely killing it.
Gaal and Salvor.
I hate to say it but they are both truely aweful characters. I kind of hope they find a way to kill off the actors and get some new ones in to play the part.
Soldato
Couldn’t agree more with the above. The empire moments are amazing. Gaal and Salvor are just a train wreck to watch and don’t get me started on the ‘Goodness Gracious Me’ bloke who is that preacher bloke for Foundation 1!

I get this as well to be honest, everyone else is cast brilliantly but those two just don't seem to have any screen presence at all, the young one (mum) feels well out of place especially.
