After finishing the first episode of the show, I turned off the television and spent 20 minutes explaining why I refused to watch another second of it to my wife.
After watching the entire first and second seasons my wife still didn’t (edit: completely) understand what the dark one is, what it wants, or who Rand is, why he’s important, or who the forsaken are and what they want.
I think that says a lot about the shows inability to convey even fundamental foundational information about the series.
ETA: Once I explained everything to her it all made sense, but that should have been the shows job, not mine.

That’s so bad that I’m kind of impressed.
Same. Your wife was really sick of it by the time i wrapped up. Sorry!
