Asimov's Foundation series. It hasn't been done yet. By anyone.
Pretty sure you're just being a silly goose. Is the series on apple tv that bad?
It's not actually bad as a sci-fi series, if it was its own thing it would be very acceptable. It's just bad as an adaptation of Foundation.
The only thing it takes from Asimov is jargon. The books are about society and civilization. The show is about the emperor, Hari Seldon, and his magic. They're hardly related.
Spoiler alert
Yes. It is the most beautiful, imaginatively designed, well acted, horribly - shittily - scripted movie. Even if you have never read the books, it's bad. And so very sad, because the rest of it is amazing.
It's become my example of how bad direction can tank a show. Or, whoever was responsible for that screenplay; may they never work again.
