IT IS TO ME!!!!!!
interesting in real life: sure; but not on tv.
Maybe it could be done as fictional documentary?
it's pronounced "annie may"
I'd do it Inside Out style with the institution represented by a metaphorical character doing the interesting TV things but then we also see the actual people inside the institution interacting with each other to make the machine run.
i'm going to be real, 10000000% pin me to the cross and make sacrilege of me if i'm wrong but the only reason it's any different on TV is because Americans can't be fucked to learn who new characters are every other episode at a rate that would make The Walking Dead ashamed at its turnover
that and the showrunner explicitly was like "I wanna do my own sci fi schlock lol i'm doin' it"
I bet you could do it sort of like those anthology shows where its the same cast but a different set of characters. Like, each generation/era you recycle the cast into new roles that either complement or contrast their role in the previous generation/era. It would still have some wiff of "Great Man" to it, but at least you could probably get closer to the actual themes of the book.
uh that's an opinion and a shit one imo
