jasnuevo's rating
It is simply impossible to translate a written story of 10 thousand pages into a TV series with only a few episodes (each 1 hour or less). There are so many things left outside than people that have not read the books will sooner than later find things hard to follow or even to understand. However, having said that, I believe this series is great, lots of resources have been used or spent to make it as close to the books as possible. Also I personally have discovered quite a few actors and actresses that previously I did not know. Acting is really good for most key characters, specially those that portrait strong mature women such as Moiraine, Siouan, Elaine... But do not forget about others like Lan.
I have read Foundations series twice. When I was young I liked very much and recently I found it somewhat aged. Anyway overall I think the books are a good science fiction story. So I have been waiting to watch this TV series, now after watching it I regret to have watched it. I believe it makes no sense all and has no respect for the books and the original story. They turned a good sci-fi book series to an unremarkable fantasy series that basically and at most only keeps the names of some characters. According to our times it depicts lots of uncalled violence. In fact I am surprised that it is not a series made by Marvel or DC. So in summary it is a demonstration that a good book can be converted in a horrible TV show. It is a shame that waste of money and resources invested because they lost the story along the way.
Storyline makes no sense, acting is pretty bad... not even a B series movie. I wonder if it is the first movie of some unknown director and cast with almost no budget.
On the other hand I believe its rating should be reviewed because it is very suspicious that among a lot of bad ratings you find quite a few with a perfect rating of 10 over 10. I think people taking part in the movie should not be allowed to rate it. Or at least the rating calculation should be able of excluding very disparate and extremely favourable ratings. Weighting algorithm for ratings does not seem to do its intended work in this case.
