Storyline
Featured review
Amazingly bad
This show feels like it was written and directed by someone with ADHD.. Every episode so far has been one 45 second scene followed by another often with no connection to the previous scene or anything that has gone before.
Rather than building connections to characters or story lines they just flip from one scene to the next often just ignoring what they did in the last episode and sometimes even within the same episode.
Every episode seems to have at least one scene that completely ignores rules of the world they established previously.
It tries so hard to give weight to each scene while seemingly being unwilling to do the setup to give the scene heft.
There are only really two bright spots in this episode. Verin is one them she is about the only aes sedai In the show that seems to actually present as an aes sedai should, calm and clever doing things with intention. The introduction of Avienda is the second.
Apart from those two bright spots it is a struggle to find anything else. The lighting remains comically bad. The sets often are glaringly obvious stage settings presented as being outdoors.
The attention to detail is just missing. Continuity is broken repeatedly as if they can't even remember what they did an episode ago or don't care
There seems to be no real thought given to the world they are attempting to create just a desire to try to create a scene that will make you feel something.
Sadly this show is just a b tier attempt at making a show with A tier money..
The actors themselves do the best they can with what they are given but the writing is so bad and flows so poorly even when the actors do a good job it fails to connect.
It feels as if this show has decided it does not care much if at all about the books it was based on yet feels compelled to get to the end of the books in the time given in the contract.
They really need to pick one or the other. Be their own show or be an adaptation trying to be both is just failing.
