If you know anything about the #Foundation series by Isaac #Asimov, do not interact with the Foundation #ScienceFiction TV show created for Apple TV+ in 2021. I repeat, do not interact, you are risking significant mental damage.

You have been warned.
It's that bad? Or just completely unrelated?
It seems completely unrelated (despite using the series and the characters' names) which makes it that bad for anyone acquainted with the books. Otherwise it seems like a run-of-the-mill science-fiction show.
I haven't read the book and the TV show was how I knew about Foundation. And it seemed quite enjoyable. What in your opinion is wrong about the TV show?
@Senya If you haven't read the books it absolutely doesn't matter to you as you wouldn't know the reference. This is also why I don't suggest you try to read them as your expectations based on the TV show would likely be heavily disappointed.
I never read the books either, but from what I do know much of the show is made up whole cloth. Typical TV adaptation.
