For me, I found the bits that were most a copy of the anime to be most disconcerting and disappointing. What they did differently was more interesting.

I did like Major, I didn't like Dr ouelet but I like Juliette binoche. It was a bit stilted. Michael Pitt was a bit one note and underwhelming but it might also be the concept has dated since the original.

The actor for Major is currently in foundation, of that's your jam.

I love Foundation. It's one of the few times I've seen something that they've diverged so much from the source material yet made an enjoyable story that is still recognizable.

I haven't read it, which seems to be a bonus. Those that have, hate it as it's different to their expectations. Same as we're discussing, different art. I enjoy it but some of it is a bit off, like the acting is stilted and the motivations are contribed. It's beautiful and interesting and thought provoking though. I just wish they'd settle on a tone and storyline that they could run with

I have read the Robot and Foundation books, including the newer prequels (and sequels? Its been a while), and I found the show intensely boring, which is really saying something. Plus a robot fucking kills someone in like episode 4 which is like the literal antithesis to what Asimov wrote.
