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?

    Yes, that’s true; everybody borrows.

    This seemed particularly plagiaristic though. Oddly placed yin-yangs? Allusions to the Roma people? An underworld looking distinctly hell-like?

    At least make me work to find the source material.
