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.

One of the most breathtaking shows to ever grace our screens. Utterly absorbing, and well worth the plaudits. Looking forward to season 4!

I simply want to add that Season 3 sufficiently swayed me into re-watching Seasons 1 & 2 again and I appreciate them so much more and feel they were underrated based on that. I acknowledge that a well written show shouldn't require that, I also feel that the 'joy of discovery' through that process creates some room to recognize strengths previously missed, at least as a counter to any mistaken assumptions or expectations from a viewer. In fact, I believe that includes reconsideration of some of the acting, which received negative feedback. Based on the complexitiies of the show and the characters, I find myself forgiving of the acting and can see how the actors would also grow, portraying the strength of the characters, to present more compelling performances. I believe the same took place, for example, in "The Game of Thrones" series or even (albeit to a lesser degree given that it only ran 2 amazing seasons) "Andor." Our disposition to pre-judge shows this sophisticated betray us, in my opinion, I am therefore glad when proven wrong, particularly when it deserves to succeed, as in this case. I strongly recommend revisiting the prior two seasons if you are considering it for the same reasons I did.

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.

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.

Another great season so far. Season 1 and 2 had a weak actress in a major role but that's not the case this season.

Best sci-fi TV show around. Bring on the robots! Almost every movie out there would dream about the level of CGI displayed here.

What an interesting season. The story was excellent. I love the risk they take in that series while keeping it grounded (if that can be said of a Scifi).. Very good effects. The actors were simply amazing. They have good parts and makes the most of it. Production value is great. I give it 88%. It does setup a lot of questions at the end.

I'm watching it, but fast forwarding through the duller slower bits, until it gets to the excitement...
