The first season starts off strong. Isaac Asimov's books aren't easy to adapt and the show understandably takes a lot of freedom with it.
Where the books are more single minded, focussing on a few sci-fi concepts, the TV show goes all out and manages to intertwine a lot of different sci-fi concepts in one big show. Initially it does this quite well.
The Cleonic Dynasty for one is surprisingly good and.was almost no topic in the books. What it did right was set up the backstory of Trantor, Terminus, Psychohistory and the acting is quite good. They added humanity to a story that had very little.
Season 2... went quite a bit overboard.
In its core, the show is about psychohistory. A mathematical method that can predict the future with astounding accuracy, based on how large groups of people behave. The point of psychohistory is that the future does not depend on the actions of individuals, it depends on the behavior of groups.
Season 2 seems to have entirely forgotten this. Every episode is about how the actions of a very small amount of individuals completely decides the course of humanity's future. Above that, Foundation gives its main characters superpowers, furthering how special these individuals are.
Mix in a religious robot, poorly written romances, a large bag of plotholes and you've got yourself a second season.
The way things are going I will not be watching a 3rd.. even though I rated this with 8 stars for the first season.

Game of Thrones starts out as an underrated TV show about wars, a looming sense of doom all intertwined with political plottwists that you do not see coming.
This show started off pretty unknown but quickly grew out to become a global phenomenon with a great cast, budget and story based on the books of George R. R. Martin.
When season 5 ended it was already known that George's disastrous writing pace was not enough to catch up with the show. Season 6 covered some new ground that the books hadn't touched on yet, and without a good story to fall back on the writers had to fill in the gaps. And it showed. Season 6 nontheless is generally considered to be the last decent season of Game of Thrones.
If you, unlike millions of others, are able to live with an unresolved story... stop there.
The whole world was wondering who 'Dan & Dave' (the producers) would kill off next. Little did we know they killed off the show and the fanbase with it. Somewhere during season 6 they came up with the bright idea of starting to personally get involved with the script and the show that was already struggling to keep up expectations after losing the source material died right there and then.
The show was well known for its clever twists and turns, but season 7 & 8 had no twists nor anything clever. Mistakes were made, and they're called Dan and Dave.
