Fans of Foundationalready understand the complex and intricate storyline, however its plot may be too confusing for new viewers to understand.

Alfred Enoch, who plays Raych Foss in the series, elaborated on just how expansive the magnitude of the show's plot gets as each episode progresses.
"It's an epic story on a huge scale, and I think we always have appetite for, for that kind of kind of scope of storytelling things which deal with issues of, of what we do as a race and how we engage with each other and the world we live on and by extension of the universe. You know, I think these are things which are always, that's never going to go out of fashion," Enoch said.
