    is the entire point.

    And it would be uninteresting to most people.

    They did not make the show for you, me or other Asimov fans. They made it for a general audience who will only know the adaptation. A hologram that arrives at the end of each storyline with a deus ex machina to solve all the problems will not be engaging to the genera public.

    Walking Dead has done it for years.

    And the show, to me, was terrible. Slow, formulaic and boring once the first season ended. So it is not something I would use as an example.

        I stopped watching mid-season 2 and haven’t thought much about the show in the following decade.

        What I like is not the same for everyone.

        Now adopt that thought to what you are saying about the TV show. You don’t like that it is not word-perfect with the books. I am glad it isn’t.

        If you don’t like where the show is going, stop watching as I did with the boring dead. The books still exist, and you can reread them anytime.
