If you start on season 1, don’t let that dumpster fire dissuade you from the rest of the show. Once you get past that, the show is solid

Yeah the plot lines outside of that are kinda garbage. And I say that as a fan of the original books.

It’s more that they sharply diverge from the core ethos of the books.

Dumping the admittedly misogynistic bent of the source material was a great move (including switching the gender of one of the core protagonists). Pretty much every other change made around the foundation-centric plots was straight up poor show running and writing. It goes from high sci-fi to “just another future-y action show”. And many of the plot changes are just.. completely nonsensical.
