I studied Physics because of reading Asimov as a child, and discovered it was way more difficult and boring in real life. Re-read Foundation when I heard the TV show was coming out, and discovered that it was a terrible book. Asimov, you old deceiver

What made you think it was terrible? I recently reread it too, and while the writing isn’t earth-shatteringly good, I definitely appreciated it for being the novel idea it was at the time.

It's not really a story at all, just an exploration of an idea. The plot is very predictable, and the characters are just the thinnest of veils for whatever point the author is trying to make.
