Great Season 2 and a little more faithful to the books (excluding of course the empire and Gaal/Salvor arcs), having a mix of the books arcs of Bel Riose in secound Novel and Foundation arc of Hober Mallow of Book one.
The Foundation arc story it´s some more faithful to the book than first season;because like the books, the structure of galactic spirit and religion created by the foundation in peripheral worlds exists in the books, and the clergyman Poly Verisof it´s an important religious character in the first book in this religious part created by foundation and like the books the Foundation is growing much in power and confronting the empire. And i Liked of the portrayal of Hober Mallow and Bel Riose and your storylines in season 2 ; Similar to the book,Mallow is as an astute merchant and a little rascal like Han Solo (but Mallow himself was the inspiration for the creation of Han Solo in Star Wars by George Lucas) and Bel Riose unlike the book it´s not young, but Ben Daniels (a Very Underrated actor from shows also underrated like The Exorcist) make a very human portrayal of Riose and at the same time a very vingative and rebel general against the empire like in the books. I Know that the fate of the two are very different from the first two books, but the live actions versions of the two have more charisma and personality than the book versions.
Overall, season 2 it´s better than season 1 that´s was only ok, but because of empire arc that even dont´exist in the books, because the other two arcs are weak (Salvor and Gaal), but i feel that foundation arc, Gaal Dornick & Salvor Hardin and empire arc are balanced in quality this season, especially the part of Mallow and Terminus against the Empire.
And for the last i praise the entire cast and the characters who even exists in the novels, like Brother Constant (a female priest of the religion of foundation with Poly Verisof) and specially the all cast of Genetic Dinasty arc, because meanwhile don´t exist in the books this arc it´s very very good and saved season one from being bad but actors like Terrence Mann (brother Dusk), Laura Birn (the android Demerzel) and of course Lee Pace as the menacing and charismatic emperor Brother Day/Cleon were the peak of season1 and i agree that he was the best character and acting of season 1 and now in season 2 meanwhile Day(Pace) it´s again one the best characters of season 2, the same season have also great portrayals and characters in much more numbers that season 1.
I Think David Goyer (The Solo Showrunner) evolved very much from season 1 to 2 but i think that lke in many shows the season 1 was only to introduce the things, concepts, universe and the characters and the real thing was to happen in season 2 and i was right, season 2 delivers.
I can´t wait for season 3 (show renewed) for the Long awaited Mule Arc with Bayta Darrel, her husband Toran Darrell, the scientist Ebling Miss and The Clown of street Called Magnificus and the fans of Foundation consider the Mule Arc ´´The Empire Strikes Back´´of the Foundation saga, both in Quality both in tragedy in story.
And for the final note: Isaac Asimov would liked the apple show(especially secound season), even with the changes and i think that he also liked the idea of a genetic dinasty.
