The show is based on the universe and some characters created by Asimov but it’s freely adapted. You’ll have to see the TV shows and the books as two entities, there are a few similarities, Easter eggs, etc. But they’re different and both great IF you’re not looking for a translation from text to screen.
The TV series is eerily beautiful, the story is better in S2 and more complex. Great cast too and on a “small” budget.
The way I see the TV show is like the creators are constantly placing details to say “Hey! This Asimov guy was really smart and he wrote this rad SF saga, you should really check it out!”.
David Goyer and his team, they’re not just making a show about some old scifi books : they’re truly fans of Asimov’s work and you can feel it. It’s a work of love.

I enjoyed it so far as well and really like the development the Cleons go through. Maybe I’ll look into the books when the series is concluded
