    “Foundation” is on Apple TV+ and the second season is or was about to drop!

    According to those that read the book(s) it’s either utter trash or a decent adaptation of a rather nebulous story.

    I’ve not read the books. The series is very well done! It’s a compelling story with good characters, and Lee Pace is in top form (both acting and nude)!

      The first couple of books were originally published in sci-fi magazines, so they are more like collections of short stories than books. Usually each story covers one crises, and by the next story everyone from the first is dead and gone. So if Apple are trying to make a single cohesive narrative, I can see that it would either need to make a lot of changes or be set later in the Foundation timeline when the books were written as books
