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 have good news and bad news: I agree with all of this and I too think it will only get better, but much of season 2 was filmed with covid restrictions.

      Hopefully with planning for it this time. It won’t come as a surprise midway through filming, so they won’t have to scramble and change all the plans they had after the work they already did was done with more freedom. Fingers crossed.
