13.08: Invasion and Foundation Season 2 Finales
AppleTV+ does it again with two fabulous season finales! This week we’re talking about “Invasion” and “Foundation.”
Sadly, neither show has yet been renewed for season 3. We read that “Invasion” has been planned as a 4-season show and “Foundation” as an undetermined multi-season show. They just can’t end on these season 2 cliffhangers!
Come on, Apple! Renew them already! We’ve submitted feedback through:

By the way, if you started “Invasion” and quit watching because it’s “slow” or didn’t show enough aliens, please give it another try. It is indeed character-based. The story follows four/five different people around the globe as they manage the alien invasion. There is action. We do come face-to-face with the aliens. The show is fabulous!
And, if you tried “Foundation” and thought it was too complicated to keep up with, binge it! It is so much easier to follow when we can watch several episodes back-to-back. It is so worth it. Also, it is only loosely based on the novels by Isaac Asimov. In fact, much of the, er, foundation of the story is original content created just for the show. And it is awesome!
Next week: We’re celebrating Hanukkah! We’re also starting our rewatches of “Hjem til Jul” (“Home for Christmas”), “Odio il Natale” (“I Hate Christmas”), and “A Storm for Christmas” (all on Netflix). So, Hanukkah viewing is brief. Here are the links to the videos on YouTube:
