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?

Honestly I think (or hope) that most "diehards" are in this category. Normal people aren't vocal on reddit/twitter/rotten tomatoes/imdb etc.

With that said, season 1 had some major issues, many of which can be attributed to covid restrictions and Mat being cut (well, the actor leaving) but not all. I personally hope that they find their groove for season 3 onwards.

I enjoyed season 1, I will most likely enjoy season 2.

There hasn't been much actual discussion because you have to wade through endless posts of neckbeard spam.
