This to me is a very good attempt. Enough changes to keep Asimov fans guessing! I hope it keeps the overall values and import of Asimov. Originally, Asimov does not have ideas of free market in his books. It is always centralised power, autocracy etc. So that bit is shown authentically. The changes are nice and keeps past readers guessing. These episodes are very good in its own right. I bet 95% of the views have not read any of the original works of Asimov, in any case.
The quality of production is as high as it can be. It is cinematic and at par with Dune etc. There is a slight tendency for not much progress happening in some episodes like the episode 05 that just transpired. There is a lot of story to tell, so there is not much money that is saved by simplifying the story or by not progressing the story. I can understand that the storyboard can get very complex but the viewers are equally hungry for a full blast of Asimov complication. I am sure this Foundation episodes and seasons will be remembered as a classic for a long time to come.
