Spoiler:
It was a complete re-imagining of Asimov's universe. One where Asimov's 3 laws don't exist. Where Eto Demerzel is nothing more than a nurse-maid, instead of the power behind the throne. The Emperors (yes plural) are clones. Gaal Dornick, the greatest psycho-historical scientist is an over-emotional young girl prone to violent outbursts and fights Hari Seldon and sleeps with his adopted son, Raych.

This show should be a how-to guide for ruining a story.


Anybody else seen the show?
Still likely closer to the books than that awful I, Robot movie. I knew I was in trouble when Will Smith was announced as the star. But I had hopes that director Alex Proyas would save the day.
