I found it on Netflix and because I like Science Fiction I watched it. The first season was pretty good, but then it quickly got worse. This is not a rant about the show, but more of a question of why?

Why do shows like this get made? With all the great fiction that has been written, why is so little produced as movies? I understand that people don’t want to mess with classics, but some just is crying out to be made. How can people not appreciate some of the fine fiction classic that are available? Does this mean that the people who make movies don’t believe that best-selling books will be popular movies?

Why are the worst movies made from classics? Is our collective IQ going to grow with more Rambo movies?
