It's not boding well I'm afraid. Foundation absolutely bungled all the high concept aspects of Asimov's work, basically reducing them down to magic. I think most modern TV is only capable of adapting the most simplistic, action-centred stories. To that end since Consider Phlebas is kind of the most traditionally narrative drive and action-oriented of all the Culture books it might fare better in the first season. It's when they try to tackle some of the later novels that I'd be worried. Can you imagine how badly your average TV exec would butcher the Player of Games?
