Same here, I dropped it in the first episode because I was okay with Gaal Dornick being a woman, but I was not okay with the ridiculous and pointless subplot of she being the only person in her planet how believe in mathematics, what doesn’t make any sense in a “globalised” galaxy, and completely changes the subject of the Assimov criticism of the academy. And I think is natural for Assimov tor portray mainly men instead of women since, after all, Foundation was a social critic of Assimov’s times, times where was very rare to see a woman in a power place.
