This is a Fantasy show... I love fantasy, but this show is horrible. Very boring... predictable with no likable characters. Only two are ok; Mat and Lan... the rest I just can't stand them..... Moiraine with her silent mysterious brooding.... Nynaeve always with that angry look in her face.... Perrin and his always feeling guilty face and the way he moves and talks like he is mentally stunted.... I could go on but you get it, this show is awful..... people who are into D&D might like it.... but for me this is not a good show, I don't know how many more of you see it the same thing as me. If it's renewed.... I'm not coming back.... one more thing.... I can't stand that they always communicate with each other with rage... speaking angrily and almost screaming.... does it fit the show? I don't know but it's horrible behavior. I don't like it.

If you've never read the books, it's a mediocre fantasy series which jumps left and right, is confusing and difficult to follow. 6/10.
If you have read the books, it's a horrible disgrace of an adaptation, molesting every good thing in the books and repurposing it for some cheap thrills. 2/10.
At the start of every episode it says "based of The Wheel of Time". It should say "Very loosely based on parts of the wheel of time and taken with several kilos of grains of salt".
I have no idea what the creators tried to achieve here. They alienate the readers by throwing the lore and book story out of the window and use some aspects of the books to create something horrendous. And the non-readers are left cold by an uninspired drama which hangs loosely together.
Watching this s*** show, the only emotions I felt were boredom, annoyance and anger.

<b>No words with the last season</b>

Just amazed by the improvement they have made in the last season. E4S3 was on another level, surpassing any other current fantasy TV shows.

They finally managed to get it right with VFXs, every character got its own type of one power channeling design according to their personality. Fights were more worked on. Sceneries were astonishing...

Clothing... man the team really cooked here since first season! Every episode was another opportunity for them to show off outfits with Lanfear and Moraine, and in season 3 with Elaida (Shohreh). You can clearly tell there was people not only putting hard work into it BUT LOVE.

So sad to see Amazon waste a TV show which such a potential. I've never been so upset about a cancellation; with my friends we were really looking forward to seeing season 4.
