It gets much better, IMHO. The first episodes were a bit annoying, agreed.

Without giving too many spoilers, I suspect some of the dreams are misleading and certain characters are already being manipulated. I also suspect the latest episodes already featured the Mule and he's not like in the dream, but I'm not sure.

Also, I think certain characters simply don't know things. For example, in that vision of the future, the Mule learns the location of the second foundation is Ignis, homeworld of the mentalics. But if you've read the books, you know that's not the location of the second foundation at all. Neither is Helicon for that matter. In the books the true location of the second foundation is hidden from the first foundation.

Also, the whole Demerzel being Daneel thing, and how she's been manipulating Empire, is interesting. Increasingly Game of Thrones like.

TLDR yes, it's worth watching a few more episodes.

Caveat: it's been years since I read the books, so I'm not that bothered about the show being its own thing.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Maybe I will keep watching, then. That gives me a little hope!

Sorry to necro this thread, but I continued watching and although the show was interesting for a while, it then declined sharply and arguably went off the rails again. A lot of drama and stuff like that. Don't think you'll enjoy it if you're a fan of the original books and read them recently.

Hey, appreciate the update. That’s really too bad!
