Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)

a direct adaptation of Foundation would never have worked, I've been enjoying the show but I'm not fully sold on how they're doing it. I think they are going too hard into ideas only introduced in the later books (written decades after the main trilogy) that changed certain characters, making those later revelations too obvious and damaging the characters somewhat by doing it, but that's just me having read the expanded asimoverse books recently, mostly it's been fun.

What I would love to see is more isolated original stories in the foundation/empire/robots universe, it feels like an untapped treasure in that regard.
