I would say Severance, For All Mankind, & Foundation are all good to great. Apple TV has been doing a great job with the quality vs. quantity compared to other services. I tried to get into Ted Lasso but it wasn’t for me.
Read and loved them since I was a kid. I understand that different mediums have different requirements and adapting stories from the 40s/50s might necessitate some changes. I definitely have my issues with it, but I am able to enjoy it for what it is and not pretend it’s a 1 to 1 version of the books. Life is too short to get upset about entertainment.
You’re kidding, right? The series would have been better if it weren’t called Foundation. They’ve mutilated the source material far worse than anything JJ Abrams has ever done.
If you start watching that show because of the name and history, then it’s a terrible show.
If you took Jersey Shore and renamed it “Lord of the Rings: Shoreline” while having the characters spout the word “Hobbit” here and there, people would be rightfully disappointed.
This honestly isn’t far off of that. The show is a disgrace to the books and shouldn’t share the name. Maybe if I can go back and forget the association, I could appreciate it for what it is. But it’s not what it was sold as.
I don’t know what to say. I went in not expecting a 1 to 1 of the books. I agree there are definitely some things that are very questionable and things I don’t like, and I think there are some cool things about it too. I love the books and they will always be there for me to enjoy. I just don’t have the energy to get that upset about stuff like this anymore. I’m not trying to change your mind and I see where you’re coming from. I’m just trying to say that liking the series doesn’t automatically mean you’ve never read the books.

Tell me you haven’t read the foundation books without saying so
“It’s impossible to like two different things.”
“I want the exact same thing that I imagined inside my head when I read the books, how do they not get it!?”
