No spoilers from me - my memory is adhd-addled awful and I was struggling to remember even basic plot-points! I remember enjoying the first book though.
I tried Foundation and gave up after a few episodes. I just wasn’t clicking with it at all - and I’m generally pretty sci-fci compatible and capable of watching utter dross as long as there are spaceships and lasers.

The show is good enough that I'd hate to hear any spoilers from people who have read the books.
Those of you who watched Foundation, what did you think? I'm tempted to go look in a morbid way, since the Foundation books were the dumbest things Asimov ever wrote. In the pantheon of "SF books written an author who has no idea how people work, with plots that rely on almost everybody in the universe having single digits IQs and the heroes being shy of three digits", those are way up there. But the TV series has Jared Harris.
