Foundation. I am a big fan of Asimov's books and the series is rare, slow and in my opinion does not understand the material of origin or the themes it deals with
I don't understand why they would take a story and then adapt it into a TV series that says the exact opposite.
I see this happen a lot with TV shows where the people who are making the show genuinely don't seem to give a shit about what was in the original work.
I get the impression that people who buy intellectual property rights to existing works actually hate those works and their fans and would like to remove the themes, motifs, and messages of the original work from the common culture altogether.
Because the books as is are practically unfilmable.
It’s just men around a table smoking cigars and drinking whiskey congratulating themselves how excellently their plans went.
Time skip. GOTO 10. Riveting stuff.
Asimov and his peers were 100% world building 0% characters and character development.
