I just read the New Yorker review...
The Apple TV+ series seems only to take Seldon's megalomania from the books, as Krugman (and Schmidt) did -- wanting to emulate him.
The books -the three original ones- were serialized IIRC in Analog magazine (then call Astounding); which is to say, the stories were novelized from the magazine stories. Still worth reading. (Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun are two of Asimov's best, and could well be made into mini-series without eschewing the originals.) As is the collection of stories titled I, Robot; the two movies made from these -I, Robot and Bicentennial Man- were passable...
