It's hard to get a legitimate take on this show due to Apple fans. The consensus that I got was that it was not anything like the books, might be missing the point. But the veteran actors and Emperor plotlines are great while the new actors and Foundation plotline are weak.

I went through the book series again and was wondering if anything from the books does get adapted or is it pretty much the same as season 1?

I've not read the books so I've got nothing to compare it to, I'm defintely going to go and read them after I've finished season 2 though.

I've been enjoying it, not quite as much as the first season but it's still fun to watch. The whole Empire thing is good, they've made some interesting character choices for Demerzel which I'm not really into, they don't happen in the book though from what I've read.

It's taken a real turn and there are a bunch of new characters in it, I like most of them and it feels like the plot is moving forward swiftly with their scenes. The spacers show up more and are really, really cool. I hope we learn more about them.

I'm thinking it's generally okay but I've not read the books and I'm fairly easy to please though
