The woman representation in Apple TV'S "Foundation" is degrading in addition to being poorly written.

They gender swapped a character to increase the representation of women in Foundation (which honestly, good Asimov was pretty sexist so fuck him), but made the character wholly dependant on a man (Harry Seldon)to be useful through visions? This both takes away her agency and defeats the original point of foundation in that humans will reliably make the right decisions given the proper circumstances and not because the ghost of mathematical people understandet said so.
