      It’s on Apple TV+. Not a super popular streaming service, at least among my peers and family

        Ah, I didn’t actually realise Apple TV was even a streaming TV channel thing, I just sort of assumed it was a physical TV that Apple made and paid no further attention.

        Still, I guess it’ll eventually be shown on normal TV or at least some other TV service thing.

      Well, it’s based on the books to about the same degree as “Starship Troopers” was based on its book. Not that this should stop you from enjoying it.

        I quite liked the Starship Troopers film, though I only read the book years later - but I remember people being cross about it not being like the book.

        The Foundation books I’ve read a few times each over the years, but I suppose it depends on the extent of changes - the books cover a huge period of time, and from such a “macro” view, so there’s plenty of stories that can fit in those universes without contradicting the original material.

        I liked the recent Handmaid’s tale TV series, having read the book at school (and for fun, some years later) - that totally did its own thing after the end of the book, but I thought it followed a pretty realistic path, and carried the spirit of the original.

        I’ll definitely give the Foundation series a try if they show it on something else at some point :)
