I wonder if foundation would qualify? If you were a fan of the books and expecting something remotely similar you’d be wildly disappointed. But the visuals in the show are really good and one of the storylines (Not even remotely found in the book) is really entertaining with one of the actors (Lee Pace) putting on an absolute clinic.
Halo If you’re looking for pure shit
Never read the books. Enjoying the show. Lee Pace is a gem.
I’ll never understand how they managed to fuck up Halo so bad.
I remember reading that the creators were not interested in playing the games at all, but I kind of get the feeling that they had pure distain for the source material and were actively trying to ruin it as much as possible. How many god damn times did Master chief get hit in the head after taking off his helmet in tactical situations?
I heard it was supposed to be a Mass Effect show, but they couldn’t get the rights, so they shoehorned Halo into the same story
I didn't read the books and maybe I'm too starved for decent space / sci-fi shows but I still enjoy Foundation.
Haven't read the books yet but love the show. Which part of the emperor plot isn't in the book or are you saying there was no dynasty in the books?
I enjoyed the show also, but it’s sort of like a fan fiction set in the first couple chapters of the book? The book quickly moves from generation to generation, crisis to crisis and leaves empire and these characters far behind
Ahhh okay, I get it I think but not gonna spoil for anyone else reading lol.
