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?

Thanks for the input. I specifically bought a month of Prime to watch the show, but didn't realize the full show wasn't out, and then I got busy with other stuff and didn't get around to watching it.

I'll give it another try when second season has released.

What happened to Matt's actor?

He decided to leave after the first season. I wasn't sure why originally. When it was announced they refused to say. But I did just check and it sounds like he didn't want to get vaccinated possibly? So good riddance I guess. Real shame. As a reader of the books, it really felt like he embodied that character better than most. But the character is kind of a piece of shit, so I guess it fits.
