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 agree, it is a shame that the movie industry is full of egos and back patters. Foundation could have easily turned into a massive franchise. I can't even finish watching season one. It was slightly interesting at first, but it totally lacks any depth and ruined all of the subtle points that tie the books together. There is nothing to build upon and expand the franchise into something interesting based on the books. Their biggest crime is calling it Foundation. It would have been better on its own mediocrity.
