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?
This is still true, though I’d say sadly Empire isn’t quite as good as it was last time around. It honestly feels like watching two different shows most of the time. If someone ever releases a cut that is just Empire and whatever is needed for that plot line to make sense, then I could recommend it.
