I kind of cant even agree with that. I tried to enjoy it as a WOT adaptation, I tried to enjoy it as just high budget fantasy TV. for me, the writing was a disaster, it was very clear they were ther to tell the BIG story over 10 episodes but really over many many seasons, they were fully committed to this grand fantasy but they forgot that an episode of TV needs to stand on its own. Each episode was just like a 1 hour clip of a 10 hour movie, there was no narrative or structure to individual epsodes.
Outside of that, the CGI is bad, the effects in general were very bad. Set design and costumes were pretty decent mainly but the show looked cheap despite being the most expensive ever made.
There are a lot of other criticisms I have of the show but I don’t think ther is a lot of point going on.
For what its worth, I thought season 3 was actually somehow decently made and written, it was just so late at that point that it meant nothing.
It’s crazy how badly they fucked up everything about that show from top to bottom.
Yeah… If you can decouple it from the books, it’s a fairly entertaining show, but as a Wheel of Time adaptation, it was just not very good.
