I know nothing of the inspiration for the series, I have enjoyed Foundation and would like to see whatever conclusion it comes to.

I can spoil the books for you if you want.

Naaaw, I'm good. I am ambivalent about the books until the series is cancelled or ended. Once the series is done, one way or the other, then I will read the wiki.

Tbh this isn't a bad take. The books revolutionised science fiction writing and it deserves credit for that but that was 1942. They haven't aged well. But nuclear powered everything is funny to read about from today's perspective. I loved that the show actually mentioned nuclear powered ashtray as an Easter egg.

Asimov forgot to even acknowledge women existed until much later. So the show is less gender swap and more actually including women at all 😅
