The Wheel of Time: Season 1

"(The Wheel of Time) suffers from too much story, told too hurriedly."

"I never felt like I was watching an unfolding story, but I absolutely felt like I was watching the whiteboard in a writers room..."

"While there is enough violence and faux-mysticism to keep genre fans happy, convincing human interactions are harder to find."

"The Wheel of Time is gorgeous, well acted, and strongly written..."

"Amazon’s production doesn’t seem to trust viewers to stay invested without moving at a breakneck pace, preferring instead to just skip along to the good stuff..."

"It’s in the verve of life and depth of character that (The Wheel of Time) is a few revolutions behind."

"This probably won’t manage the Thrones-like crossover Bezos demanded, but The Wheel Of Time is a rich, enveloping fantasy nonetheless..."

"However basic its beginnings, The Wheel of Time quickly reveals itself as an expansive world that demands return visits."

"It’s hard to engage with (The Wheel of Time) thanks to its middling CGI and overstuffed mythology."

"It's hard to get lost in this world when it feels so emotionally distant, so scattered, and so packed with thin plotlines."

"So focused on the big picture that it neglects the small things and feels bland."
