When someone answers that let me know if I should bother finishing episode 2, I am half way done with it.

Unimportant 1% spoiler question

Spoiler:

The fact that is bothering me so much is probably a issue with the quality of everything else

If you're not even intrigued by the first episode of Foundation, if there's little you find promising, you might as well give up. It doesn't get better.

Thanks very much for your post, guiding me away from a subpar show.

Truth be told, the Foundation books aren't really all that either. I mean I read and enjoyed them as a 15-year-old kid but Asimov is no Philip K Dick or Robert Heinlein, that's for sure. Ideas are good but the execution in words isn't close to top-notch. GRRM's GoT books deserved the full-scale tv epic treatment. The Foundation books really don't imo.

I am losing track of all the time jumps in Foundation. To be fair I have been day drinking.

The Werner Herzog doc on there about meteorites is also quite good imo although it's not for everyone.

CODA and S1 Ted Lasso were great. S2 Lasso was still pretty good.

i think herzog's main appeal is his narration rather than his filmmaking, what a voice

I thought it was some kind of rule that you had to watch the Beastie Boy doc first thing once you got AppleTV.

Raised by Wolves is good if you enjoy weird stuff. It's more scifi fantasy than hard scifi so if you just let things slide it can be a fun ride. I'll probably watch the second season just because I appreciate it fully embracing it's strangeness.

I'm incapable of sitting through a network show. That looks like the definition of a network show to me

I'm still in on Invasion if for no other reason than if beings capable of interstellar travel were to attack us, their technology would be so advanced that nobody on the planet would know wtf has happening until it was over.

That said, I'll be surprised if the reveal isn't something stupid

Amazing line from episode 1 of La Brea.

They've been trying this **** since Lost was still on the air. These shows aren't successful and that was before they had to compete with streaming.

Streamers/cable have a huge advantage over network shows like this. They can have any number of episodes, do mini-series, take large breaks between seasons, be R-rated,etc.

I doubt you will ever seen another show like Lost, Prison break, Heroes, etc with a serial story and 20+ episode seaons. Even when the networks cut it to 13 episodes all the other issues will kill any show like this.
