If you can separate the tv series from the book then it is like a completely unrelated sci fi series that is not great, but not quite as terrible as it would be otherwise. I haven't finished the book so I don't have a conflict here, but I've had this issue with other things I've seen that have been adapted.
I didn't hate season 1. I didn't love it, but it was watchable outside Gaal who is one of the worst characters I've ever seen in media.
But this season started off truly unwatchable, mostly because of Gaal again, it's like they're picking settings to give her as much of a chance to hurt me with her writing and acting as they can, and refuse to offer me the mercy of a veil.
But it's foundation, and it has Lee pace and Jared Harris so I have to suffer through, apparently I offended our version of the emperor somehow.
