Just putting this here for those who might miss it.
I saw season 1 and it was…okay? I gather that Wheel of Time diehards were upset about plot deviations. I never read the books so that didn’t matter much to me. IMO the world setting seemed janky - it was as though Robert Jordan couldn’t build an original world to save his life and borrowed bits and pieces of different Earth cultures and threw them in a blender. I could pass on the next season but I have too many people around me who will want to watch it so I feel somewhat compelled to.
What did you think of season 1? Will you be watching season 2?
Read all the books, and enjoyed the first season of the show. But I also didn’t expect it to be true to the books, so I’m just enjoying their reinterpretation of the story.
There’s so much lore and background story and side stories in the books that large chunks have to be reworked or removed to put it on a screen. And that was always going to happen, so I went in just hoping for an easy watch, that didn’t have me angry at the characters doing too much stupid shit. And also knowing there’s some background reasons for the stupid things they do, and hoping that holds true on the screen.
