The Wheel of Time (2021)
Not the "real" Wheel of time
If you're going to base a tv series on a book, follow the book.
Characters are wrong - they don't look or act like their counterparts in the books. Rand and Egwene didn't have a physical relationship; the tension between the two is a key part of the early books. Moiraine and Lan didn't have a physical relationship, either; she's Blue Ajah not Green.
Perrin was an apprentice to the blacksmith and not married with a kid on the way. Mat... Mat is just all wrong.
The Dragon Reborn cannot be female because of the nature of the One power and the taint of the male portion of the power.
And there's so much more that just is "wrong" and poorly represents the books.
Unwatchable.
If you want The Wheel of Time read the books, don't waste any time on this series.
Doctor Who (2005)
Season 11 isn't Doctor Who
Season 11 isn't Doctor Who and my rating reflects that. The writing for this latest season is weak. The stories are weak. It's so disappointing. My skepticism about a female
Doctor was laid to rest at the feet of a poor effort. Perhaps a great female Doctor can be had (Missy was tremendous), but not with the current stories. What chance Whittaker had to make the first female Doctor stand out is buried.
Such a shame.
