I’m surprised no-one has commissioned a TV series of “I, Robot”; it seems tailor-made for it. A set of stand-alone stories, with the same characters throughout, and the stories are brilliant.

    Another way of looking at that, is that it’s the PERFECT time.

    I suspect the poor reception of the movie is the main reason no-one’s tried to adapt it since. Well, that and it’d probably be very expensive. Which hasn’t stopped shows like The Wheel of Time, or Power of the Rings, or House of the Dragon being made - but those had massive fan bases built in.

    I agree though, I’d like to see a TV series adaptation. Maybe Apple will give it a shot, since they’re already doing Foundation?

      Yeah, maybe. I would worry there isn’t enough content for a TV show in the whole robot series. Those books were pretty short.

      Although that didn’t stop apple from making a whole season out of the first few chapters of the first foundation book.
