It's hard to get a legitimate take on this show due to Apple fans. The consensus that I got was that it was not anything like the books, might be missing the point. But the veteran actors and Emperor plotlines are great while the new actors and Foundation plotline are weak.

I went through the book series again and was wondering if anything from the books does get adapted or is it pretty much the same as season 1?

The Empire's side is just amazing. The fact that Foundation is basically not a priority for Cleon is great. I would watch a show just about the Empire. The 3 Cleon fight for power, and Trantor diplomatic relationship with other planets.

Foundation stuff is meh. Gaal is horrible. A mathematical genius who is also a ball of emotion is just bad characterization, plus it is pretty misogynistic compared to how they depict Harry.

And they better solve the mysteries they set up, or I'll be really angry with the show. To name a few: How was Harry resurrected, by whom, and why? Why does Cleon 1st have a larger memory bank?

It’s so ironic that the best part of the show is the one they wrote from scratch, while they mangled all that had to do with the books

Totally agree with Gaal part
