The Wheel of Time (2021)
A good premise
While the premise is interesting, i.e. Men cannot use magic without going mad, watching this series will drive most men insane as well.
It is obviously written by, directed by, and directed at women. I even made a bet with my sister before looking into the series credits. I was surprised that a male authored the books the series is based upon. The books must be worth a read. I was correct however that the screenplay and direction is by women.
Where is the adventure? A group of younglings dragged along on a quest to save the world by a powerful mage. Hmmm I've heard this before somewhere? Except all we get are drab interpersonal relationships between equally drab characters. The dialog is as boring as the characters are. Where is the adventure?
Again, I have no problem with the premise of women only using magic. However, watching this was an exercise in persistence. Could I make it all the way through the first season without becoming so bored that I would quit watching?
May the Dark One take me and put me out of my misery.
