The "base" hangs sheep's heads and sells dog meat, which makes people play in minutes. How to evaluate the first two episodes?

Sell dog meat by hanging sheep's head to trick Asimov readers into circulating traffic. The first two episodes basically don't see any bright spots, and there are a lot of fabrications about the original. It can be said that this is a fake base in the name of "base". Imperial power, religion, women, etc. All of them are overemphasized, and with the unlovable Seldon face, people can play in minutes.

The hall room where the woman was tried once made me think Tadao Ando designed it. Generally speaking, the first two episodes are not amazing, and the plot is even a bit dull, but the whole set of fun and powerful special effects of the series can still drive people to watch and look forward to the follow-up. How to evaluate this play, we should put aside the original work properly, because theoretically they are completely different works. The first season is destined to mostly pave the way and introduce the background setting of the whole book, and it may still depend on the second and third seasons to determine the height of the play.

For example, from the library to the place where Harry Selton gave a speech, the style difference of the environment is simply not like in a building, and the scene shaping such as the court did not make me feel the information that the film itself wanted to convey; Jiao Wai's puzzling rectangular spots. The emperor's irrational decisions and behaviors, the motives and rhythms of other characters, and so on. Anyway, it's completely inexplicable. I can only say that the money has been spent, but I can't look closely. It's not that you can't adapt the original, but that your new story, plot and scene should stand up. Obviously, the play didn't succeed.

In fact, I quite like the setting of the emperor's trinity cycle, which is an adaptation of a novel, suggesting that the empire is decadent and unchanging. Although the trinity and the first episode basically swept the base prequel series into the trash can. Many settings of the base can be changed, and I still remember this wonderful setting of the nuclear stapler. However, based on the first two episodes, I don't think a better prequel can be compiled at the level of a screenwriter, so the Trinity can be used as a gimmick.
