I mean, it’s not like there was a lot there. The first season of the TV show was like 4 pages in the book, and the characters are pretty bland in the book.
Yeah true the “main character” in the series really is just the Foundation itself from a burgeoning science outpost to the center of a new galactic empire to rise out of the ashes of the old one. Asimov was always a “big picture” kind of author and it shows with a vast majority of his characters being rather bland but still important in the vast history of the story.
If the adaptation stayed true to the series then it could’ve been done in a couple of seasons. Too bad modern TV sensibilities demand a “chosen one” to drive the plot forward and stall it out simultaneously.
