This show just makes me sad.
As a sci-fi fan, having read the Foundation and Robot series, I've been looking forward for this show for years. In addition, I really like Jared Harris and Lee Pace so this show should really work for me but it doesn't!
After the first two episodes I realised that this was a flop and deviated too much from the books so I tried watching it as a stand alone sci-fi, focusing on the Cleon clones (which is a interesting plot but should not be applied here). But it's still bad sci-fi, poorly written, bad acting except for Lee, Harris and a few more. It's messy and stupid and just disappointing.
Harding's character is just ridiculous and that whole plot is pure stupidity. Also getting Seldon back as an electronic ghost is idiotic. I'm guessing Gaal will now be sent to start up the second foundation since she has 100 times more intuition than anyone in the books...
My rating so far has been 7-6-5-4-7-4-3 so who knows? With a bit of luck it will go uphill again.
I should stop watching but I guess I can't and will finish the season.
