Critics, per Wikipedia

The first season received some positive reviews, with praise aimed towards its performances (Pace and Harris in particular), epic scale, visual effects, and score by Bear McCreary. However, the pacing, specifically of the time jumps, use of narration, and complexity of plot were often criticized. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 72% approval rating based on 89 reviews for the first season. The website's critical consensus reads, "Foundation's big-budget production and impressive performances are a sight to behold, but it struggles to wrangle the behemoth that is its source material into a fully satisfying series." Metacritic gave the first season a weighted average…

    Right, but history remembers Asimov as the author of the Foundation and I,Robot series, not the author of a guide to Shakespeare or the Bible. Fame isn't about volume, it's about impact.

    Just watched finished the first two seasons of Foundation. These books, the original trilogy and then the ones on Asimov’s later years, are some of my favorite. This show is not them. And why I am really enjoying it. The show is such an interesting reinterpretation, and just so beautifully shot.

    There's nothing in Sparta or Asimov America needs to emulate in 2025—and given that Musk is both information and media illiterate, and has utter contempt for the liberal arts, I have no confidence whatsoever in his ability to read the Foundation series or study classical antiquity and understand it.
