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?

I don’t see any darker-skinned actors playing good guys

Are you forgetting Salvor Hardin, played by Leah Harvey?

True. But she’s not as dark-skinned as the actor playing Loron (the mentalic on Ignis who initially telepathically presented himself as Hugo). That scene where we first see him didn’t feel right to me.

Oh God you're actually classifying PoC by their level of darkness.
