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 agree! I enjoy it in the same way I enjoy the Hitchhiker’s Guide movie. Is it the same story? No. Is it still good? Absolutely
Yeah. I’m not a fan of this “in name only” practice. And being a fan of the books, and the greater Asimov universe, I did struggle at first.
Once I accepted how completely they were going to abandon the original, I did manage to enjoy what they did produce. It wasn’t weaker so much as just a completely different beast.
Going into S2 with this expectation, if the quality is as high as in S1, it should be well worth a watch.
(I can’t say the same of Wheel of Time. The TV series is just weaker, it’s a mess, a bigger mess than the first book which definitely had its issues. Damn shame, I really was hoping for an attempt to stay closer to the source without Rafe ‘updating it’ for what he thinks Jordan would have written today)
