Just Spectacular - Isaac Asimov at His Best
Managing to put a series of Books into a series is no easy task especially when it covers 1000 years.
It isn't a series for everyone when you consider this, and that Isaac Asimov isn't just an advanced sci-fi writer but also a visionary almost one century before us. It is a case of love or hate especially when it involves two types of media, a filmed streaming series (with no easy task at hand) and a series of written books (with more two sequels and two prequels in a total of 7 books).
Do not attach to most of the characters as many of them obviously won't live the 1000+ span of years of the saga of the original trilogy.
The books are just magical, complex and transcending - if you like the series go read them. There are many differences of course but to go into full fidelity runs into that case of a "book that is impossible to make a film".
The actors are top notch into their roles and the budget that Apple spent on this one is comparable to a big budget movie (around 70M a episode), with effects on CGI and sound that should be viewed in IMAX.
If you love true sci-fi do yourself a favor and go watch it: my score is 8,7 out of 10,0 / A.
