The novels, especially the first couple, are honestly pretty episodic. Given that they were published as magazine serials before they were books that's not surprising. But each section of the story deals with a self-contained crisis within the context of the arcing narrative, which imo fits pretty nicely into modern tv storytelling.
- mturmon 9y agoI recently re-read Foundation (only the first) with my kid, and I have to agree. The initial chapters with Hari Seldon, and the later segments with Salvor Hardin and Hober Mallow, fit exactly the mold you mentioned. They even call the episodes "Seldon Crises". The characters, as always with Asimov, are a bit overdrawn, but there are some gems there as well.
