      Are there any good essays on the Apple TV adaptation of Foundation. Seems like an under discussed show in general.

      It was beautiful but my husband had a problem with the premise being the exact opposite of what the books. The books were about how nothing is a real surprise when you are dealing with ordinary people while the show was about 2 exceptional people.

      The main issue with the show is that it misunderstood the appeal of the source material. They wanted it to be Game of Thrones in space and so added big plot twists and leaned into imperial intrigue. But the story isn’t about the unexpected - it’s about the expected. https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1494136257814929409 …

      I agree that as an adaption the series is a travesty, violating not just the text (which is acceptable) but also completely inverting the spirit (which is a problem). But I wonder how the series looks as stand alone without regard to source material.

          I’ve wondered about that. I’m actually not in a David S. Goyer Raped My Childhood mood about the series. I livetweeted a reread in 2020 and oof, the thing’s got problems. And the MCU has gotten my “appreciate the riffs on the original” muscles in decent shape.

          I can’t be *sure* I’m able to judge the series as its own thing. But I *think* that, as its own thing, the Cleon parts make for pretty good Prestige TV with a clever premise, and the rest is a hash, with some decent actors dragged down by bad writing.
