Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 8378083">I think Foundation was written in a certain style. If you read other types of books he has written, like Caves of Steel or The End of Eternity (my personal favorite), his writing is less jarring and I would say quite good (I don't think Foundation is poorly written, but there are vast sections of time being dealt with and I found some of those jumps really popped out a bit: I think Arthur C. Clarke was better at that kind of thing than Asimov personally, like in Childhood's End, but that is just my opinion).I did love the foundation series though. The premise was very interesting and I like Asimov's handling of stuff like history. This show interests me but I can't justify another streaming service (seems like every company is trying to lure me with one or two shows). Lately I am just content to read and enjoy the things I like, not follow things coming out on streaming services. Also I do tend to agree with the OP's point that Foundation doesn't scream movie or TV adaptation. It deals a lot with ideas and those might not translate well into a visual story.</blockquote>
