Having watched the first series of the 'Wheel of Time' and sort of found it OK, we gave Series Two a go. Well we just didn't engage with it at all and even SWMBO, who will watch paint dry, spent more time sorting out school passwords on her laptop than watching it!

I've watched the first episode. It ain't the books, but... I found it... not awful?

I have enjoyed "Wheel of Time" much more than "The Rings of power". Binged watched the first three in series two.

It's not bad, visually well done, but we just did engage with it at all, that's the problem :( .

Yah, it's... slow. And as they're off piste fron the books they're juggling a lot of new Intro and reminder stuff.

Much like Orcs I found it far better than RoP tho!
