Legend
A lot of bad takes in this thread from a lot of different angles. Nothing of value to add to most of the discourse, only this;
My partner and I freaking loved Wheel of Time. There are some definite lulls and the whole thing with Perrin having a wife was completely stupid but other than that it was a pretty good first season. The most common criticism I hear is about the art direction which is wild to me; it's not something that I tend to personally notice but my partner eats that stuff up and she thought the art direction and costuming were excellent, and that's the kind of thing I very much trust her judgment on. We re-watched it after finishing our read (re-read for me, first time for her) of the first book and we only enjoyed it more. Very excited for the second season.
Also Shadow & Bone is excellent (the show, anyway, the Grisha Trilogy was touch-and-go for me throughout it honestly but the Six of Crows Duology is amazing). Also very excited for the second season of this.
Shadow and Bone seems to get over looked. It's too 1-3 of the fantasy shows imho. May be better than Witcher as it's more coherent season 1 vs season 1. Enjoyed both in rewatch though.
Thought WoT was weak but Willow might replace it on the bottom hard to say. Liked the Willow movie on recent rewatch it's not great didn't realize it was filmed in NZ but recognized some landmarks.
