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?
Similar experience to you, never read the books and watched it off the recommendation from some work people. I wasn’t a big fan, the story and characters were alright but nothing really gripped me. I’ll probably check out a few of the first episodes of the new season, but I don’t expect myself to keep up with it.
