I think they ruined the Foundation series.. I am a huge fan of Isaac Asimov, I think the Foundation saga is THE BEST science fiction series ever written and no one has come close since, and I think the producers should have stuck to the story and to the characters, I'm watching it out of curiosity and respect for the author, but I am utterly disappointed in how it was adapted, the original story is a million times better than what they made of it.. It is a shame, I have been waiting most of my life since I read the books (already 3 times) for someone to put them on screen, and I was so excited when I heard that it was coming out on Apple TV, but I am really disappointed by the outcome.. PLEASE DO IT AGAIN and just stick to the characters and the story.. Is it because Mr Asimov's daughter inherited the rights that all the characters are women instead of men, and there are too many romantic scenes, and did you want to adapt it to these modern days ?? I mean, why not stick to a perfect story and keep it like it is in memory and out of respect for Isaac Asimov who clearly was the best in what he did...
