The TV series has no real relationship to the original books. It is something completely different from the books. So, it is not what it purports to be. Just what is it? It is a someone’s idea of a sci if series that presents important ideas. In this it fails. So, it is not what it pretends to be, and it does not appear to be what it wants to be.
It appears to me to be a confusing mish-mash of trite ideas that are presented in a confusing way. The special effects are good. The characters are sometimes interesting when they are not busy being cardboard cutouts. The writing is sometimes OK. If you are a sci fi fan you should give it a try and you might like it, just don’t expect to see Asimov’s books. If you are on the fence about sci fi, try something else.
