Since Ted Lasso is running long, I still have my subscription. We checked out the first two episodes on Sunday.
It looks great. It's 200 million dollars spent well. The story is kind of meh. But I always thought the Future History story was meh to begin with. There is some action. Lee Pace plays Brother Day the middle of three clone emperors. Jared Harris is Harry Seldon the inventor of the math behind Future History. Lou Llobell plays Gail the genius who might be the key to saving them all. In the first episode Gaal comes to Trantor seat of the empire because she has solved a math problem marking her as one of the greatest minds in the galaxy. But it also makes her a target of the empire. They want to arrest her and Harry Seldon for causing disruption in the Empire. The series is bookended by a mysterious object on a planet that can only be touched by one woman.
S1Ep2 Harry, Gaal and the Foundation are on a slow ship to Terminus to set up the foundation. Most of this episode is Gaal running around in a bikini top and shorts for some reason. Back on Trantor they are still investigating the big shock from the first episode. The story still isn't very involving.
It all comes down to Future History. Future History basically says all large scale events can be predicted through math. It's kind of a hopeless theory. There is a bad future and there is nothing we can do about it.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
