Foundation was a slow burn of a TV show when it made its Apple TV Plus debut in November 2021. The prestige sci-fi series was undeniably gorgeous to look at, but glaring narrative and universe-building issues plagued it at every turn. Until such problems were rectified, Foundation wouldn’t be viewed by many as one of the best Apple TV Plus shows.
Thankfully, towards the end of its original 10-episode run, Foundation settled into its stride. A pleasing equilibrium was reached between its captivating drama, high-stakes action, and sci-fi sensibilities; stability that offered hope for the structure of future installments. So, could Foundation season 2 build upon its predecessor’s cornerstones and deliver a more complete, rip-roaring entry in Apple’s burgeoning sci-fi franchise?
