Ugh, I wish they would have given the show to a competent producer.
I would say based on overall viewership and ratings, Amazon thinks they got the best producer ever (WoT is outperforming their Billion Dollar Wonder). And considering S2 has nearly crossed 90% ratings despite the Bookcloaks, seems like they've caught their stride whether you like it or not.
The show received consistently negative reviews from professional critics and fans alike. I'm glad that some people were able to enjoy it, but it wasn't good.
This is a true statement of literally every show that's ever been made. "Consistently" refers to the presence, not the percent. Looking at current Rotten Tomatoes rating, Wheel of Time Season 2 is holding its own handily.
The issue isn't the show having a "competent producer". The issue is that YOU don't like it. So here's an idea. Instead of being one of dozens of loud voices complaining about it, go find something else to spend your time on? This isn't Legend of the Seeker. There's no objective measure that it's not well-written or well-done. And this constant negativity is just a natural extension of seeds sown by Bookcloaks.
I was talking about season 1, not season 2. I haven't even seen season 2.
