If this series were not based on a book, I would have nothing negative to say about it. However as it is based on Asimov's Foundation novel I am regretfully very disappointed. The incongruities in the story line differ so drastically from the book as to make it nearly unrecognizable from the novel it draws its name from. I feel this is a slap in the face to one of the greatest science fiction authors of all time. Asimov would never have signed off on this mockery!

This said, on the question of whether Asimov would have signed off on this project, I'd say the evidence points to a likely yes.
After the original trilogy, Asimov didn't add to it for decades. Then he wrote additional books on the same universe. And he wrote things that fans weren't expecting. He merged the Foundation universe with his robot stories, that before people had seen as separate. And in "Foundation's Edge", he slaughtered the Seldon Plan, which was a shock to many fans.
After Asimov died, his estate agreed that three famous science fiction writers, Gregory Benford, Greg Bear and David Brin, would write three additional books to the Foundation series, that were called the Second Foundation Trilogy. These books took things into even more unexpected directions. The three writers called themselves "the killer B's" for this project, which makes me think that pushing the envelope was the intention all along.
The Asimov estate has also signed off on this TV series, and specifically Robyn, Asimov's daughter, has given her agreement. I think this is significant because Robyn was the inspiration for the character of Arcadia in the original Foundation trilogy, so it's fair to assume she feels an emotional connection to the Foundation universe.
In short, all the evidence suggests that the way Asimov saw the Foundation universe was that he was more interested in considering the ways that it could plausibly expand than in keeping it rigidly confined to the original trilogy.
