View original postY'all have gone over all that's wrong with it. I just can't. I also can't imagine where the budget went. Jesus fuck me, but I can't fully express my frustration and irritation with the producers of this show. It ISN'T Wheel of Time. They lifted a few elements (badly done) to jumpstart their efforts to make a run-of-the-mill Sword'n'Sorcery show that could try to get that GOT audience. Better luck next time, assholes, with whichever literary property you screw over. Ugh. Narg not happy.
Yes, it is pretty terrible. I agree with you about the budget. Considering the resources available to Amazon (and Bezos), the producers could've made the show comparable to GoT in production quality, but instead they made what I call "B-level" material. (I saw a recent podcast with Brandon Sanderson in which he said the show was excellent. After watching the first three episodes, I am compelled to question Brandon's judgment. But that probably explains why I never read any more that the first book in any of his series.)
Even though I agree with you that it is SHIT, I will keep watching. The reason is so that I can hate on it. Sometimes it just makes one feel better to belittle someone or something. It's petty and immature, but in this case, no harm is done to, so I have no qualms about doing so.

Sanderson's providing some kind of running commentary... which does contain criticism.

I think the point to remember is, the early episodes were never going to be that great.

So, doesn't suck nearly as much as some other shows? I can accept that. *NM*

Yep. But it's pretty weird how many entirely different things people are seeing in it.
