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?

    I never read the books, so I thought the series was really great, except for the season finale. I hope season two is good, it looks promising to me.

      I also really disliked the finale. Covid restrictions did affect it a lot apparently, but it was bad. As a book reader I was surprised at how vague they made everything. It feels like a lot of sudden weirdness wasn’t explained. I think season 2 will clear some of that up at least.
