With the foundation, Apple has created a work of science fiction that is considered inappropriate due to its complexity. It brings to the screen “The Foundation Cycle”, in which Isaac Asimov imagines a world where humanity is governed by a new form of science, psychohistory, designed to predict the future.
The latter imagines the inevitable fall of civilization, with the consequences we imagine (power wars, political games, and religious beliefs challenged). Lee Pace and Jared Harris answer lesser-known actors who perform with distinction.
• The beauty of his images. If the series can fish for the bottom, its flawless execution is counterbalanced by its integrity.

• Interesting reflection on time, people, past and future.
