If you’ve never read Asimov’s Foundation series, you might like Apple’s TV “adaptation.”
If you have read the book series, you might not recognize the story as presented in the TV series. It’s like someone took the book content, added in some other Asimov works, dumped it all into ChatGPT, and instructed the AI to write a new story that disregards the basic ideas and plot trajectories if the original books.

Indeed, they kept the names of the characters... and that's pretty much it. Some examples for the people who know the original story: Demerzel ( an azimovian robot, in fact Daneel Olivaw) ... murders people. Gaal Dornick and Salvor hardin, are mother and daughter and of the same biological age, (because of stasis and all that) and apparently will live till the time of the Mule, that is very late in the story. Gall Dornick sees the future (because of magical powers or something) and so it makes you wonder why they even need mathematics, just take you crystal ball and look into it! There are about a thousand of other deviations even more ludicrous. |

Yeah, and they completely left out the living Lazy-Boy (in the few episodes I watched). I've wanted one for 53 years.
