First half I really liked. It started dragging on about 3/4 of the way through. Like in so much of these series it gets lost in pedantic dialog about the Three Laws of Robotics or spelling out plot points. Overall still enjoyable though.
@codrut@mastodon.ie I found the first two episodes solid enough but I was concerned if it was going to be on a down slope for the rest of the season. It turned out to be the exact opposite. Episode 3 on are really really good. Andor and Rogue One are the best Star Wars done since Empire Strikes Back.

Another detective story of the future that allowed Asimov to explore the Three Laws of Robotics, the peculiarities of the individual Spacer Worlds, and their comparison to the people still living on Earth. I will say that the Elijah character and his Colombo/Sherlock Holmes persona is feeling a bit tired at this point. As much as I enjoyed this book and its exploration of these various topics I am hoping that either it is the last I see of Elijah or that the next time it's not yet another whodunit.
