I tried. I tried ! I watched the pilot of Foundation, the TV show based on Isaac Asimov's books that I obviously already read (and loved).
I know, an adaptation isn't meant to be a 100% copycat of the original material, I was more than ok with the LotR movies (dear Tom Bombadil, you won't be missed).
But I already had a problerm with the main character stating that the encountered three of the biggest plot points of the books that are separated by decades / centuries, but eh, maybe there's an explanation. Then came the Lannister Empire of Trantor with Incest Clone and Pedo Clone. Oh and they are eviiiil, they kill an old man in cold blood because he dared to believe SeldonCooper string theory.
I facepalmed myself so many times like... ok, we get it, the Empire is shitting his pants because of Seldon's theories and want to silence him. Ok. But the Empire was not a main character in the books. He wasn't even a secondary character. There wasn"t even any clone. Trantor, the planet itself, was a character. You learnt about its slow downfall, from time to time, and even then, it was a distant story. You learn so little about the Empire family because they were never the main piece of the cake.
I dropped Foundation right after the pilot, couldn't take it anymore of that Obvious Evil McBadGuy Lannister wanabe and his clones.
Maybe if I never read the books I would've liked it more ? Meh, not sure about this, I never liked Game of Thrones so...
