Personally I kinda liked the first season. It's better if you forget the original Asimov story and just watch it as its own thing because it diverges from it quite a bit.

Looking forward to see where they go after that ballsy season 1 ending. Lee Pace will continue to kill it no doubt.

I can’t believe how bad season 1 is. The only reason I didn’t stop watching was the emperor story line. Lee Pace killed it. Most of the actors are TERRIBLE. It was like watching wooden planks act. Instead of developing the story in any meaningful way, the directors chose to focus on disparate and dream-like sequences which appear to have little connection to each other.

This is science fiction of the worst kind. The source material is absolutely butchered. The dialogue is atrocious. The CGI is laughable. The accents are ridiculous. I don't know how I made it through the first season. What an absolute joke.

Lee pace kills everything. There’s no denying that man’s handsome, handsome face.

Huh. I actually rather liked it, and the ways in which it "butchered" the source material were IMO the best parts.

Foundation was a great novel in its day, but it has not aged well and a modern adaptation in another medium is inherently going to require a bunch of changes.
