“Not My Father’s Strong Suit”: Foundation Author’s Daughter Says Show Does 1 Thing Better Than Her Dad’s Books

Robyn Asimov acknowledges that her father's books had strong storytelling but lacked character development, which is something the TV adaptation improves upon.
David S. Goyer, the showrunner of Foundation, breathes life into the characters and takes the story to another level, which Robyn Asimov believes her father would have been impressed by.
The TV show adds an exciting new dimension to her father's work by bringing the characters to life, an element that was not a focus in his original writing.

I mean, I always felt like it was intentionally written that way…?

Interesting perspective. I read the first three books, and liked them, but I also noticed the lack of character development.

It never occurred to me that it may have been done deliberately. What makes you think so?
