It is closer to the source material than the film _I, Robot_ was to the short story. It retains at least some of the overall plot.
I only watched the first episode, TBH, and didn't find it interesting enough to keep going. I'm pretty old (56) and I read my dad's original copies _Foundation_ as a little pre-teen kid, when it was already 30+ years old, and the sequel trilogy when they were newly released in the 1980s.
It has not aged well, and the producers did well to modernise it, I think.
But still...

The film I Robot started out as an unrelated sci-fi who-dunnit that had bits of I Robot (the collection by that name, not the single short story of the same name it included) grafted in because the company had the rights for a limited time and needed to do something with them or lose them.
