So I don’t know why I get excited about these things. The last series I had high hopes for was wheel of time. I was very disapointed with it. It was a nice enough fantasy series but it messed up the authors story and world while having to much of it in it to be an independent things. Foundation is even worse. While watching I was thinking it was maybe like stories that took place in the Foundation universe. Like stories between but even then with the whole cloned emperors. It was more like stories in a alternate foundation story universe. I feel like it was kinda dunified. Not in the sense of sandworms and spice but in the sense of people with special powers and all sorts of wierd sects and they really stressed the whole ai war thing. I almost feel maybe someone read the amber series with walking the spiral. Thats a stretch Ill admit but I wonder. Thing is the dune movie that did so well came out after this series started. I hate so much that these movie and show runners seem to be like. I can tell this authors story better than these silly authors can. ugh. Most of the series revolves around stories around stuff they added. Only the framework of the original stories seem to be present. Im only in season one but Im not sure I can handle watching it through to the end.

    that’s an inherent problem adapting a book to visual medium. word for word adaptations just don’t work.

      well im looking for word for word. The lord of the rings was overall a very good adoption as much as I hated changing the sauruman and hobbit story.
