Apple TV+ spent $20B on original content. If only people actually watched. (arstechnica.com)

Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.

I sympathize with the wanting shout at characters.

What bugs me the most is that in Foundation, the plots often involved smart people being outsmarted by smarter people. In the show, people cause their own failures through their stupidity. There's no intellectualism in the show; it's action and people reacting, often poorly just as a lot device. I can't stand characters being stupid just to further a plot.

Grrrr. And it was so beautiful. So. Frustrating.
