Of course you were. No expectations were mismatched and no intention of communicating an inherent dissatisfaction was intended on my part. I do see however how my post can be interpreted that way and apologize for that.

Expanding on what I wanted to say: For me, Apple’s Foundation is maddening in so many ways - It is a visually beautiful and well designed series, partially filled very clever and thought-provoking writing and full of clearly hard-working professionals doing a great job. And then there is the other half, filled with bizarrely primitive plots and absolute nonesensical writing which I cannot get my head around (like e.g. the commander of a giant space fleet personally deplopying onto a clearly dangerous planet on an absolutely bullshit mission, and do not get me started on anything involving the prime radiant). This show is like an ongoing train accident, I cannot look away and continue to stare at it but it is an ongoing disaster.
Your edit restructures the show in interesting ways, often improving on the shattershot style of storytelling by providing clearer and more focused individual stories. These are, however, still filled with too much nonesense for my liking. I found your version more acceptable, but it is honestly hard to state how much came from my knowledge of the original version of the show without doing a really detailed comparison by rewatching both your work and the original again.

For future readers: Focus on the “impressive work” part of my original post 😉
