Wheel of Time was on a "stupidly high budget" from what I could tell.
I enjoyed the show, but it cost $10 million dollars per episode. That is just nuts, it has one decent named actor for salary, everyone else is fairly no name. The effects are ok, the shots are okay, but nothing has the expanse of GoT (which only cost 6 million in its early seasons, before the battle scenes, rendering dragons, and actor salaries began to increase, and it had a lot more named actors to start off with).
I enjoy the show until I'm reminded of that budget number, as it just baffles me what they spent it on.
