So far there are a lot of things that are different from the books, and some are even making no sense.
That said, the show is still great in my opinion, I'm loving it, it does hurt to see Assimov vision a little bit butchered, but I think, at least for now it's working visually. Hope it stays like this.

3 episodes in and I very much like what I am seeing here. I'm totally recommending it if you are into SciFi, however this ain't Star Trek Discovery or Star Wars. It's got a slow pace, comparable to the first season of Expanse with lots of political drama. It's also a bit confusing for now, since the story jumps from timeline to timeline and you have lots of characters to keep track of.
I have never read Asimov's books, even though I love SciFi, so I can't speak for how faithful this adaption is, but production value is off the charts. I also love how they realize certain concepts in a way I have only seen in some SciFi anime so far, like very mild spoilers from the first episode: a space elevator where the ride down takes over 40 hours and that thing is a proper space station, earth being turned into a matryoshka world where the sky is only a projection and they even show a ship with a black hole drive.
