They couldn't have found a better series that doesn't constantly take a massive shit on its source material?

Couldn't stand watching the show. The way the one power was represented drove me nuts. Reread the series a fifth time just to make sure I wasn't going crazy with the changes they were making. Lan's actor does not match the role. Rand feels like a moron. Sigh....
You couldn't have composed a reply that doesn't take a massive shit on something other people are enjoying?
The creators couldn't have adapted a beloved series into something that wasn't just a massive pile of shit?
I'm already loving her in WoT. I never pictured Elaida as Shohreh but now I don't think I'll be able to read the books without hearing her smoky voice for every Elaida line.
Certainly a cast I have not expected, but am pleasantly surprised by
I wrote that series off before S01 shat the bed over and over, but I'll fast-forward through whatever soulless cash-grab mess they've made of it all, just to enjoy her inimitable performances. ❤️🔥🥰
You have to think of it as a different turn of the wheel. If you think of them as the same story you'll be disappointed. Season 3 is turning out to be a treat though. Better than the first two seasons so far.
For real, though! I popped on ep1 soon after my first post here and ended up watching ep2 before crashing out, but I devoured eps3-5 the next night and now I'm sadly stuck waiting like a real pleb on a hook. 😅🤷🏽♂️🤓
How about Mat v Galad and Gawyn? That fight was great. I can't wait until he has his ashandarei.
The prince beatdown was magnificent. Kaladin would be proud.
As a book reader, I enjoy season 3 way more than the first 2. It's a shame how the beginning got botched, but... to be fair, the first couple of books of WoT weren't stellar either. If we've got through the Eye of the World, we can get through some COVID filming.
