Did anyone watch Foundation?

Not familiar with this series.
Just finished it. Pretty well done for hard sci fi space opera. It supposedly is pretty different from the books, but it's well done enough that I was hooked all the way through. It's pretty thought provoking and David Goyer is the showrunner. He supposedly wants to do 8 seasons, but I'm not sure Apple TV will ride with him that long.
What were some of the main differences? I've read the wiki and see the book goes into much more detail over a seemingly longer period of time. Is it just that or are the characters radically different also?

It's different enough to really not be the same story.
Wow the differences are incredibly stark. I guess it's almost like Goyer is just making an Elseworlds set in the Foundation universe. I do have to say, reading through the differences, it seems like some of the changes give us a much more compelling and interesting storyline. Empire, I think, is fascinating in this. Still, he may as well have just called the series something entirely different.Foundation: All Major Changes The Show Makes To Isaac Asimov's Books

The clones were the best addition and if they had kept it at that it would have been a success, but you're right it would have been better calling it something else, because it's not Isaac Asimov's Foundation.
