I'll admit, I almost gave up on the series on episode 5. The first 2 and a half was promising but a little too "trying" to be an authentic tv show. From the middle of the third episode, it performed quite bad and the 5th and 6th were almost horrible. And then, came the 7th. And oh boy wasn't it glories. And while the 8th was good but not as good as the 7th, this one? The best episode yet.
It's tough to look at well-known tv shows the first season and judge them objectively, but if you remember, a lot of drama masterpieces like GoT, Fauda, Westworld, Handmade's Tale, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Man, The Walking Dead, Money Heist etc began just like that ion their first season. Some continued to a horrible second or third season and some continued to be great. House of Cards is actually the one exception of drama masterpieces that I can think of, since the whole first season was equally amazing, and for some reason people expect from Foundation to be like that only exception. Right now, Foundation is going in the path of the greatest, but it will all come down to the final episode which will decide if it will be the next GoT, or the next Alternate Carbon. And the most exciting part about it, is that Apple is aware of that and only just now began to truly promote this tv show, probably because they know, that most people won't like this show without a binge that will make sure they will survive the weak parts.
In conclusion, I really think that the next episode, if it will be good, will mark the dawn of a new masterpiece show. And based on that that most of the negative reviews were only based on the first episodes, and most of the positive ones watched them all, I have a good feeling. Oh, and based on the second seasons of For All Mankind and SEE, which was seginifcaly better than the first ones, Apple might got over its baby steps (and baby falls, I'm looking at you Truth Be Told) and the next season will be the coronation of Foundation as the new GoT, and Apple as the new HBO.
