What's the best "good-bad" TV series you've seen? (lemm.ee)

TV series that have no right to be as good or as fun as they are based on their premise, or are campy and absurd and yet somehow make it work.

My other suggestion is "Foundation" which was basically 3 TV series in a trenchcoat in Season 1 at least. 1 had HBO tier writing and detail. 1 had middling Amazon Prime writing and 1 was The CW garbage. It had improved somewhat in Season 2 and the plots were more balanced.

So disappointed how little respect it had for the source material. Is there any good Asimov-derived media?

I would have enjoyed it much more if it didn't pretend to be based on Foundation. It's not necessarily a bad show, but it's a terrible adaptation of the source material.

Well ironically the most revered part of the show was the Cleon plotline, which they completely made up.
