The idea of a "faithful adaptation" of Foundation for television is ridiculous

It’s actually not. A faithful adaption doesn’t have to spot on in every aspect. It should at least feel like the original story. A show where the main story line and characters didn’t even exist and those that did are completely different than they were in the books is not even close. It’s Foundation in name only. I mean it’s not the first time a show has done this and won’t be the last, but I’m not going to give them praise for changing literally everything. You want to pretend it’s even remotely close, that’s fine, but it’s not, and it could have been done closer to the source.

Again, I’m not even arguing it’s a bad show. To argue that they are doing a good job of adapting this book is what’s ridiculous.
