I watched the first three episodes. They are well done, but as usual, too many women, too many niggers. Foundation was Asimov's first big novel. It was followed by two sequels, Foundation and Empire and Second Foundation. I first read the trilogy when I was 13. I found it a bit dry and lacking in action, but where it shines is in its intriguing concepts. Psychohistory almost seems as if it could be a real field of study. The idea of protecting the knowledge of civilization against a coming Dark Age of ignorance and war seems particularly meaningful today, even more so than when Asimov wrote the novels.

I enjoyed the tie in to the robot series.
