Challenge #9 - Rec Us Your Newest Thing

I'm gonna reuse the fandom recruitment info I just posted to space_swap. I need more people to watch Foundation with me!

The canon: Foundation
What: TV series (based on a book series). There are 2 full seasons of 10 episodes each and it just got renewed for a 3rd season.
Where: Apple TV (I would like to own it on DVD but unfortunately Apple doesn't seem to do physical releases of their shows, boo.)
Quick pitch: Mathematician Hari Seldon invents a branch of math that can predict the future of humanity and it is bleak. The ruling emperor is not particularly pleased with this and exiles him and his followers. They go set up the Foundation in order to help future humanity through the predicted period of crisis.
More: Let me say first that the aesthetics of this show are off the hook. Look at this gif set! Second, all the characters are fantastic and there are really fun relationship dynamics. You've got a rotating set of cloned emperors and every version of him has so many issues. Salvor Hardin who is beauty, grace, and will shoot you in the face. Her space UPS driver boyfriend Hugo. Loyal cleric Constant. Gay space general Ben Daniels. Beki the dragon lizard!! There's space politics, a ghost ship, Lee Pace in a gold mesh crop top. If you want a galaxy spanning space drama, this is the one.
