PrimeWire

Don’t watch this, whether your are a fan of the books or even just looking for something in the genre. The world building… it can’t even be called that. It contradicts itself at every turn. It doesn’t respect the original work, it doesn’t even respect the changes they made to it. This show throws out 2/3 of what happened in the finale of the first season in the first episode of the second season and never explains any of it. In the 5th episode, Moiraine does something that makes everything that had happened to that point completely unnecessary.

Had they at least just done a new turn of the Wheel, I could have respected that. This show started off bad, tried to convince fans it would try to stay some what true to the original. It didn’t. The final episode of season 1 flips the script and throws the original work out completely. Then, the first episode of the second season throws out most things that happened in the finale of the first season. It doesn’t respect the original work, it doesn’t respect itself, it doesn’t respect the characters, and it certainly doesn’t respect the fans or it’s viewers.

This isn’t an adaptation. This isn’t a creative spin. It’s not even an episodic romp w/ characters from stories you love. Any of those things would require some measure of respect of the original work. This is a pure cash grab abusing the IP of one of the greatest works of fantasy ever written. This is a group of some of the worst writers I’ve ever seen who had to throw everything out bc they turned the entire plot into swiss cheese. EVERYONE involved in this show should be ashamed of what was created. Even Brandon Sanderson publicly called this show out for refusing to listen. I refused to watch it until now bc I knew it would be bad, but this was worse than I could have ever conceived. The people involved in this show should never be allowed to work in the industry again. There is nothing redeemable here.
