Sheesh, calm down
Seriously, I totally get being pissed at unfaithful adaptations, I think it's deeply human. Still, despite this, I think that this show was working at a huge disadvantage. You don't just easily adapt Asimov to the big screen, so they did what they could.
Which was iirc the showrunners own sci fi schlock instead of "foundation"
I mean, it is Foundation, just not Asimov's books. It takes stuff from the books, modifies it, sometimes leaves it out, and adds somethings new - just like adaptations do. Some adaptations are close to the source material, others are just adaptations in name only. You don't like this one, while I do, and both is ok.
im pretty sure the showrunner literally said in an interview how they couldn't get their own shit approved so no it's not just an adaptation it's literally like not even a fan fiction at this point because it's fan fiction that wasn't even written about Foundation
Well, if that's the case, then that's the case. Sorry it's not to your liking, but like I said, you don't like it, I do, and both opinions valid.
