Goddamn that cast looks good. I think I've already mentioned here that this is sort of like a prequel to the books; or maybe it is more like filling in the pages that Asimov left blank. He only ever wrote in passing about the Empire and it's destruction since his books were about the Foundation and the incredibly long lengths of time in between the fall of various empires and the people that would be necessary for the continued rise of humanity.

You do have a point although I would consider Expanse a different form of Sci Fi from what this should be, For all Mankind, Stargate, BSG, Babylon5 and so on.
I keep out Star Trek and Star Wars for the same purpose.
Speaking of which, is For all Mankind S1+2 worth it? If so I may hit up both on Apple+

For All Mankind is 10/10, if you liked TNG/Stargate/Babylon 5/etc its fantastic. Ted Lasso and Long Way Up (Ewan McGregor and his brother riding motorcycles around South America) and Mythic Quest are also great, more than enough to get you to Foundation.
Foundation will begin airing Sept 24 2021 I believe, 10 episodes 1 per week

I watched the first two episodes of For All Mankind and found it uninteresting. It was just close enough to history to be annoying. Also, don't much care for Joel Kinnaman, so that didn't help (I liked season 1 of Altered Carbon in spite of him).

Maybe I will give it another shot after I get done with Clarkson's Farm. It has great ratings and I usually love space shows, so I want to like it.

"See" was a far out show that Apple did and it didnt adhere to what you're saying.
I didnt know about this show, but I know the books. Hoping for good things to come out of this. Get some very light vibes of several different series just by the visuals.

Well the books were not action novels so even if they keep the core premise intact it is going to focus on things that the books never went into detail about.

My understanding is this is a prequel. If they actually followed the books they would need a large cast and there would be no main protagonist per se except in spirit (book readers know what I mean). Its largely why the series has been thought to be unfilmable. You need a director and writer who can craft a world and dialogue that transcends any one actor to overcome the conventional character arc being missing (the arc is around Foundation itself, not any one particular character)
