Maybe its because i'm not a fan of the books, but I really like Foundation, it has weak points, but overall I'm enjoying it.
I went into it expecting it to have nothing to do with the books. I found all the characters' behaviors irrational and frustrating, with the exception of the emperor.
And I'm getting really sick of incompetent protagonists and impossibly flawless antagonists. I think that's just a reflection of the zeitgeist of the world's masses, but that's another discussion. Suffice to say I'm tired of it being the only trope used in SciFi TV anymore.
From what I've heard, it literally flips the premise of the novels.
I like both. The novels are good, but would not work today - they have been writen in the 50s and it Shows.
The series might have slow points, but I really like the emperors and the genetic dynasty, great storytelling device.

TIL making fun of writers for talking about women as sexual objects is 'sex bad.'
I love the show. The best part of the show, far and away, is the part that isn’t in the books — the Genetic Dynasty.
