How is the TV series compared to the books?
Barely connected.
I personally advise you to hold off starting till maybe this season finale, or just do the seasons in a binge.
The beginnings of the seasons seem really, really bad, borderline unwatchable at times, then somehow turn on a dime to pretty cool sci-fi.
The secret to watching Foundation is to fast forward anything that isn't Empire.
... I mean... you're not wrong.
I actually don't mind salvor, she's... interesting, at least when her idiot mom isn't around.
Just wish she wasn't as passive, Gaal is somehow the leader even though she has 0 fucking clue what she's doing or where she's going, and is in a panic most of the time.
Her best idea this season so far has been "I don't know what we should do next, I got it, Dr. Seldon, you need to choke me, and keep choking me until I pass out... no, it's OK, I don't need a safe word... daddy."
