It's like 1 step above the sword of truth series. The showrunner either isn't the wheel of time need he claims to be or doesn't care. The production stinks. It doesn't meet the same gold standard that other TV shows have reached in terms of sci-fi fantasy. The first three books in the epic are essentially a LOTR copy and have a lot of content, world building, and character development. The series glazes over about 25 hours of content this in a few short episodes. They ignore the rules that Robert Jordan set and many of the characters are rewritten
