Comment on Wheel of Time season 2 trailer

I’m with you. I haven’t read the books, but I watched it because of how celebrated the books are. I did not enjoy the first season. I wanted to like it, but I found it aggressively mediocre and generic. Couldn’t tell you anything about it, I barely remember anything other than the famous lead actress, who was…fine.
I’ll probably watch the first couple episodes of the second season to see if they’ve taken any of the widespread criticism to heart, but I’m not optimistic.

Don’t judge the author by the show. I don’t know what the intention was but it seems the producers have a deep hate for the books.
It’s a great series to read; the longest I’ve ever read. The series has highs and lows but I cared for the characters and that’s very important for me to like a book.
WoT is great to read and a letdown to watch.

It looks like Rosamund Pike is carrying the whole show. The actor playing Rand… Wears the character like an ill fitting suit. The other side characters are more interesting.
