I was hoping the first 2 episodes would drop before the Ryder Cup starts later today.

Have to say those are the best Jump sfx I've seen since Discovery's sporr drive or maybe even Galactica's jumps!

What's the early verdict on this? It's the sort of thing that I feel I might actually respect by bothering to read before going in on the show.

Watched the first episode and it has me hooked. On to episode 2 
Will be giving it a watch later. Can't wait.

High production values, initial scenes reminded me of The Mandalorian for cinematography and vibe. Not read of this before in the books etc so was initially a bit confused but it opens up a better understanding later in ep1. Characters are pretty well acted too and there's an underlying serious tone to everything.

I've never read any of the Foundation stuff and it took quite a while to actually work out what this was all about.
It was OK.

I’ve been starved of decent sci-fi so I’ll forgive the slightly rushed ‘get everything set-up’ and the score feeling a bit generic. Very nice to look at. It’s been literally a couple of decades since I read the original series so I’m not going to froth at changes etc since I can barely remember half of what happens.

First episode watched and so far so good. Still not my mind up about Demerzel but time will tell.
Soldato
Oh LOL I forgot this is 2021 and I can watch more episodes. Onwards..
Soldato
Ok this is nothing like the books now, I remember even that much.
EDIT - and I don’t like it.

I know nothing about the books and lore, but hugely enjoyed this. Eps2 left me with a WTF look on my face I must admit.
Oh and also - pretty much me thanks to my QLED panel at night.

I know nothing of the books jon snow.
But the production value in Ep1 is through the roof.
Watching ep 2 now.

Any where else to watch this apart from Apple TV ?
Just there, unless you get it through nefarious means.
Apple TV is £4.99 a month, you can always just wait for them all to air and sub for a month. Ever even a week as they give you 1 weeks free, watch and cancel, will cost you nothing.

This is a sound plan. I'll wait for the season to air. The days of sailing the seas are behind me.
Yea, enjoying this. Probably helps not knowing the books as this kind of story can easy and often has to deviate from a book to make for decent TV.
