> I actually like the Apple TV version, but it’s definitely its own thing.

I do, too, but I had to accept that the books basically gave us names; and that's about it.

The books would have been a complete snooze-fest, if they had been accurately rendered.

Foundation as a series is already somewhat uneven and less than “pure.” Asimov pulled a Lucas and cluttered it with sequels and prequels that muddled it with connections to his robot novels. Then there’s the additional books by other writers. And if you want to get real picky, Second Foundation gets real pseudoscientific with the pseudo-psionics compared to the first two books.
