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?

    Lan having a big fit crying and screaming at a funeral is such a stark contrast to his novel character that it cannot be reconciled.

    Wait, Lan did what?

      He also spent most of the show sulking around and being a soft-ass emo dude. It was really annoying.

        I am all for a different interpretation, but I was looking forward to a really bad-ass Lan.
