(This is about the TV show ONLY, read the book first, it's a better story then this.)
First let me say the cast and their acting was on point. They were pretty much the only great/amazing part of this. The scenery/special effects were good to ok.
The actual story (by Rafe Judkins) was garbage... I grew up with these books, my father read at least the first half to me while I was growing up, and I have since gone through the series a couple of times myself with Audible (and now again with my wife). I'm not an expert by any means but this is the worst adaption I could have ever imagined. It pains me to know that some people might only watch this and never give the books a shot. Robert Jordan was and always will be a far better writer/story teller then Rafe could ever hope to be. This portrayal of the books has NO right to be named as a Wheel of Time series. Rafe Judkins, you sicken me with this blasphemous story... I hope that you're removed from your role and they hire someone that can follow the story and redo the whole first season. Keep the cast, just remove Rafe, and pretend like this was a "practice run".
-Rafe Judkins on a personal note, how can you sleep with yourself at night..? You are the worst. You should be known as Rafe Shyamalan because of this... You disgust me. I can almost guarantee you will never read this (because you obviously don't care) but I wish somehow, someway you read this, see how much this hurt watching this and feel it for yourself. I wish you the longest life with the slowest and most painful death imaginable.
