First episode left me meh but you all's good response for the season as a whole lead me back.
There was not a new character they introduced in this season I did not enjoy (and they introduced a lot of new characters).
When she first appeared, didn't figure Brother Constant would end up being my biggest crush of the season.
The Empire stuff has always been the strongest part of the show (which is a bit of a shame sense its not even in the books) and it didn't let down. And the robot stuff, Demerzel's backstory in episode 8 or 9 was great!!
I think the weakest thing for me was the multiple Hari's and having him come back to flesh. It got hard to keep track.
I also don't think there is a lot of dramatic tension in the idea that Salvor Hardin was going to die in 150 years.
Another minor complaint is that in the book, as I recall, none of the crisis' were left to chance. That's the whole point of psychohistory, certain things are inevitable. but it didn't seems like that in the series. I get why not. It would probably be a bit boring if none of the characters actually changed the arch of the story but yeah.
THose complaints aside they did a good job of having less filler and making everything matter (aside from killing that Warden for no reason).
I don't think it's a great series, but it is a pretty good series.
