Just look at Dune. Brian Herbert's books are an abomination. They completely butcher the story and betray its core themes. Just like with this show.

If they wanted to take the show in a different direction, they shouldn't have called it the Foundation series. This show has nothing to do with the books at all, aside from stealing a few ides about the basic setting and some character names.
