For me it's definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

I've heard nothing but bad things about Amazon Prime's "Wheel of Time" adaptation.

The first episode was enough for me.

I've hate-watched all of it. It's not good, some things are wrenching departures the books, but there's also been parts of it they adapted well I think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think anyone who has never read the books would enjoy it.

I watched the first season, loved it, read the books, watched the show again and was a bit disappointed by some of the changes. I’ll watch the whole series though and think of it as a different turn of the wheel. It’s a decent series imho it just isn’t a one to one translation.

yeah I find I can enjoy it if I just try not to think about the series. The big issue is the way gender worked in the universe (fictional universe for anyone who is going to get triggered) with magic. By having her search for boys and girls it discounts a pretty large plot point later. Not sure how they are going to deal with it when it comes up other than gloss over it.

How far did they take the teen drama aspect of it?
