The Genetic Dynasty storyline is entirely original and it’s easily the best part of the show, one of my favorite sci-fi concepts ever. Lee Pace is just so fucking good as Empire in all seasons. Demrezel is also right up there as the best character in the show.

Just can’t get enough of this.

Season 3 is streaming rn and it’s amazing so far. Absolutely phenomenal performances from Lee Pace and Laura Birn. I highly recommend watching it if you like sci-fi.

    I mean, it is Foundation, just not Asimov’s books. It takes stuff from the books, modifies it, sometimes leaves it out, and adds somethings new - just like adaptations do. Some adaptations are close to the source material, others are just adaptations in name only. You don’t like this one, while I do, and both is ok.

      im pretty sure the showrunner literally said in an interview how they couldn’t get their own shit approved so no it’s not just an adaptation it’s literally like not even a fan fiction at this point because it’s fan fiction that wasn’t even written about Foundation

        Well, if that’s the case, then that’s the case. Sorry it’s not to your liking, but like I said, you don’t like it, I do, and both opinions valid.
