I love the addition of the Cleonic dynasty in the show. Makes it more compelling than a strict book adaption. But the whole season 2 arc fundamentally goes against the idea that Seldon had. He set into motion events that are based on the actions of trillions of people over hundreds/thousands of years. But here he is specifically relying on the actions of just a handful of people (Hober Mallow, Brother Day, Demerzel) to ensure the Foundations survival. That is not what the math of psychohistory is!

Cleon makes good points, Harri is a hypocrite and cheats his own math multiple times.

He's not a hypocrite: he's intentionally provoking Cleon into making unwise and impulsive decisions with the intended result of driving galactic events down predictable pathways that his plan can control. Had Cleon truly been trying to think differently and was less arrogant, he'd have at least grasped the ruse and tried to negotiate... but even well after his death he knew that the Cleons were too arrogant and self-assured of the Empire to ever deviate from predictable patterns.
