Just read the books. The show does an excellent job of completely butchering all the parts that made the books good. The show is in fact so bad that show spoilers don’t even count as book spoilers.
People have been talking about making the books into films or a TV show for ages, and somewhat like Dune, it was always thought difficult to do. It seems that that perception has given the writers permission to totally do their own thing … and I don’t think it’s working at all.
The emperor clone thing was clever, and they should have just gone for things like that all the way through, clever cheap ideas and structures that let them tell the Foundation story without going too big on the budget and making it easier to understand and follow in a TV format.
