The Wheel of Time: Season 2

"A smart, complicated adaptation that is taking worthwhile risks."

"The adaptation’s major changes pulls the show in too many directions."

"A stellar example of fantasy at its most spectacular."

"The costumes still look fake, the sets have a cardboard sheen, and the pacing is all over the place."

"Richer, more engrossing, and just plain better."

"Squanders too much of the series’ original potential."

"Finally finds its footing."

"Doesn't sustain interest because of its over-serious tone and overdone detailing."

"A darker, fractured, more thrilling turn for the series."

"An assured return for a series that still feels as if it hasn’t yet found its footing."

"Continues its dull fantasy worldbuilding."
