Thoughts on Season 2 of Wheel of Time TV series?
I haven't seen all the shows. And I'm not a purist, the show script doesn't have to follow the books as scripts are creations of the show writers. I just enjoy seeing it come to life on screen. I enjoyed season 1 with all the faults and all. have mixed feelings about season 2 so far. I just want to hear what others' thoughts are on it.

I have no knowledge of books. I just thought it was quite enjoyable to watch. Acting wasn't the best but I'm sure it will improve
Acting has gotten worse. It's EP3 and they haven't figured out how to integrate Mat back into the series.
Didn't think it would get worse. That's not great
That user's the 10th dentist in this situation. Most people are saying characters are "acting their asses off" in terms of quality. Moiraine's interactions with Anvaere, Verin with everyone, Alanna with everyone... Pretty spot-on.
Rand's becoming the Rand we all love. Perrin, the same. I have a feeling we're going to see a sudden influx of Mat chapters starting with EP6 and going through the end of the season... but I'm officially team Donal as a better Mat than Barney was.
Well I'm still going to give it a watch. See how I get on thanks
Ugh, I wish they would have given the show to a competent producer.
I would say based on overall viewership and ratings, Amazon thinks they got the best producer ever (WoT is outperforming their Billion Dollar Wonder). And considering S2 has nearly crossed 90% ratings despite the Bookcloaks, seems like they've caught their stride whether you like it or not.
The show received consistently negative reviews from professional critics and fans alike. I'm glad that some people were able to enjoy it, but it wasn't good.

This is a true statement of literally every show that's ever been made. "Consistently" refers to the presence, not the percent. Looking at current Rotten Tomatoes rating, Wheel of Time Season 2 is holding its own handily.
The issue isn't the show having a "competent producer". The issue is that YOU don't like it. So here's an idea. Instead of being one of dozens of loud voices complaining about it, go find something else to spend your time on? This isn't Legend of the Seeker. There's no objective measure that it's not well-written or well-done. And this constant negativity is just a natural extension of seeds sown by Bookcloaks.
I was talking about season 1, not season 2. I haven't even seen season 2.
