Season two is a wild fever dream that isn't anything like Star Trek. Someone wrote a different show, honestly not that bad of a show, and then just tossed in Star Trek characters. Like a bad Star Trek fanfic, but also weirdly good at times.

Never watched Picard, but that's how I felt about Foundation. It wasn't that it was a bad show, but it didn't feel anything like Foundation and I couldn't get into it.

I've only ever seen Foundation the show, but the Foundation part of the show is bad. It has its moments occasionally, but it's just bad.

But the Empire part of the show? That's amazing! Rename the show "The Empire, from the Foundation universe" and just focus on The Empire.

The Empire part is basically non-existent in the first book, they changed a lot of what was there, and the whole clone thing is totally new. It would've been cool as its own IP, since it basically is anyway, but it's not Foundation.

And the Foundation parts were heavily changed. The whole format was changed, the story is supposed to take place over generations, navigating crises every 50 years or so, following new characters each time. I had to stop watching because it was basically unrecognizable and completely spat in the face of the themes of the book.
