Foundation is different than the books but I appreciate a lot of the story they've been telling in the show. I'm looking forward to their Neuromancer treatment

I agree. The Foundation books wouldn’t make great TV. There’s way too much time skipping and very little character development in the books. I have some gripes but they’re spoilers so I won’t say what they are. But generally I like the show, and I really loved the books and have read them multiple times.
Gotta say didn't read foundation, but i like the show, really sucks that people don't get that studios will always need to tweak books for appeal or other reasons to make it work for their audience, it doesn't make the shows bad.

This is why we end up with studios not willing to make shows and keep them around the people that just get upset cause it didn't meet their expectations from books.
