I didn't realize how much hate this show would get on lemmy. I really enjoyed it from the very beginning. I truly hope this show keeps going.

From what I'm hearing, the production halt is not because Apple is getting cold feet but the budget for season 3 was set last year before the strikes and the inflation in the Czech Republic has gone up a lot since last spring. They need to figure out how to rebudget the show or find a new location that fits the current budget.

I have a high hopes things will be fine.

Eh I'm a book reading snob and foundation is one of my favs. So of course I'm gonna be a curmudgeon about the show. Not gonna piss in your cheerios tho. If you like the show then that's great.

I have some coworkers who talk about it all the time at the office. I assumed that though it may not be as popular as Game of Thrones, there are lots of people that liked it.

I think it has potential to stick the landing, unlike GoT. The showrunner Goyer is a huge fan of the source material and has the blessing of the the Asimov estate.
