A new season of Survive the Love Island of Real Housewives-Celebrity Edition costs a 10th as much and may make more money.
Ah well. Alas 2010s Trek wave.
So how is Foundation over at Apple TV?
IMO Foundation is a really interesting interpretation of the very slim and very dry volumes that most of us are familiar with.
Some really good characters, twists and ideas - so not Discovery
Agree. I like it and the production values are amazing. Lately, the show has too much "magic", for lack of a better term, in it for me. The Cleons though are one of the most interesting concepts I've seen in sci-fi.
It’s good enough to warrant me taking out an Apple TV subscription for a month or two every time there’s a new season. It’s more cerebral than emotional (not saying that it’s especially clever, just the vibe), but I’ve enjoyed it, and it has some very different and interesting elements. Also high production values and a very solid cast.
Same. My favorite sci-fi show on Apple is For All Makind. I get my 1 month of Apple for that but make sure to get Foundation in there as second priority. I think Apple is trying to carve out a spot as a place for Sci-Fi.
