The journey, far from over, remains worth it. .... A review of what’s been seen thus far can’t begin to describe the brilliance that is “Foundation.” It needs to be experienced. It truly is that good.
-
Continues to put the rest of its small-screen genre brethren to shame with its momentous, magnificent third season.
-
Foundation season 3 delivers on the promise of an epic-scale sci-fi story with the tone and pace of a blockbuster movie.
-
The series takes itself too seriously—but it would fail to be this oddly captivating if it ever felt self-aware. It’s incredibly sincere, as if Hari Seldon himself were on the writing staff, reminding everyone in the room that the only inevitability in the universe is change.
-
Foundation has managed to find the perfect balance required when it comes to making the show's titular organization feel surprisingly vulnerable.
-
Apple TV+ is now the de facto home for prestige, challenging sci-fi and Foundation is the jewel in its four-dimensional crown. A stunning, sweeping and cerebral space odyssey.
-
Fans of the books will be interested to see whether it can pull off the huge surprise that Asimov carried off with his Mule storyline. Do so, and Foundation will have achieved a shock up there with the Red Wedding on Game of Thrones. But even if it mucks up the Mule twist, this is a sci-fi show like no other – gorgeous, cerebral and unapologetically out to lunch.
-
Foundation remains one of the best space operas on television. Unfortunately, the thing that holds Foundation back the most in Season 3 is the bevy of new characters that it introduces.
-
STREAM IT, if you’re a fan of sci fi, an Asimov fan or someone who caught the first two seasons of Foundation and want to see how the story proceeds. But, like we said in Season 1, casual sci fi watchers are not this show’s target demo. We suggest they SKIP IT.
