Has anyone watched ep 1-3 yet? How was it, considering series 1 was a bit underwhelming I thought.
I watched episode 1. I thought it was better than the first season. Some better visuals and the pacing wasn't as fast. It felt a bit more in line with the books on that front. So I hope that trend continues, because the pacing in the first season was terrible. It's quality still doesn't come anywhere close to the books though.
Edit: also the storyline of Nyneave is better than the first season, more in line with the books so far.
And the show gave more background information, so that's good for people who haven't read the books. But I still can't really get over some storyline changes, because I don't see the necessity.
I think it helps if you read the books once like 30 years ago. I only have vague recollections of what happened. That works for a show watcher. The show runners should probably be a little more familiar with the source material. I also only watched the first episode so far but I did enjoy it.
I had this thought as well. Read the books up until 6 or 7 a few years ago, enough to vaguely remember overarching plot but not specifics. I can tell they’re changing things but I’m not invested enough in the plot specifics to really care. It’s a nice spot to be in as a casual WoT fan.
