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?

It's different, s2 started terribly but picked up dramatically, if you can survive the first 3 episodes it's actually pretty good.

Gaal is less completely hatable as an actress and character after the first few episodes of s2, but only because they seem to have tried to tone her down, she was the worst part of s1 also.

They need to be arrested for criminal misuse of Jared Harris, poor guy, but the queen is fun and constance is the somehow stealing the screen from everybody in the best ways.

If only they could somehow kill off Gaal...
