Wheel of Time season 2 trailer (youtu.be)

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?

Oh totally, that’s a good point. I’m definitely not judging the author, and I’ll probably still try to read the books at some point.

What is it with all these shows lately that actively hate their source material?? I’m thinking about the Witcher here too…

My guess is there's too many in Hollywood who're high on their own supply.
