Given this other recent fantasy show on prime was just horrible, I am not surprised by this. Strangely, a lot of people liked it! Maybe it is going to be the same here. Don't even remember the name of this other show.

Wheel of Time. I enjoyed it.

Same, but then I also never read the books.

Didn't read the books either. Just such a badly written show with horrible actors.

Yeah, I’ll disagree there, it’s decently written with good actors. Far worse shows out there, like everything from MCU.

We clearly have different tastes. I really liked Loki, for example. And I even enjoy Miss Marvel!
