I’m a big fan of the books. Probably the most well written sci-fi I’ve encountered.
The TV series is, of course, quite different. It had to be really as viewers expect continuity of characters and an obligatory love-scene. It’s a reflection of our current TV viewing.
I’m hoping they’ll take it new directions where the book doesn’t go and, after the first season, it’ll pick up like many other series have done over the years.

I mean, I am not in the target audience as I am committed to remain outside the Apple ecosystem but, if there was a Foundation series somewhere where I might consider watching it, pretty high on my list of things that would interest me in it as opposed to any random dime-a-dozen indistinguishable brain rot available in every streaming service is that it would not feature those things.
