      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Wheel of Time's revolutions can be a bit creaky as it tries to stand out from other fantasy series, but it succeeds admirably in making Robert Jordan's epic approachable for the uninitiated.

      Matthew S This is an excellent adventure series. On par but not quite GOT. This is a must see addition to your viewing! A+ and it is best watched in 4k HDR Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Trenaway E When the show stays on pace with the story, it is great, the problem is, too much dry, small talk dialogue which does nothing to advance the story, or make me correlate with the characters! I wish they had spent more time with each of the characters and their development, which did not happen as much as I wanted, because of secondary characters dry dialogue! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Audience Member I am a fan of the books, I spent years hoping that an adaptation would happen. When it did, I could barely struggle through the first season. The characters felt flat, the changes to the story rarely seemed to help to improve it and often drew away from the actual story, a strange choice considering how much the books covered. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Casey M Absolute garbage. The character names are the same, but the characters themselves are different, the world is different, and the story is different from the books. In each case, these differences are for the worse. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Marcel d Janky and dull. Look, I was never a fan of the books (despite suffering through them), so I had low expectations going in. It still disappointed me. I just wish there were some real, human characters in this series. Everyone is so one dimensional. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Kyle M The show detaches itself from the source material in every meaningful way, cutting or changing plot and lore to make changes that aren't natural or even interesting. It takes a unique IP that pays homage to the genre and turns it into a generic fantasy story that could have been written by a middle schooler.

      Scott Bryan BBC.com What frustrates me is from the outset of The Wheel of Time is that it does that thing where it spends five minutes quickly explaining a world you dont know with terminology you have never heard or really understand. Rated: Not a Must Watch Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Rebecca Long Slate While the adaptation isn't a carbon copy of the books, it works well as a complement. Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald In the world of fantasy literature, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time novels were once the biggest thing since The Lord of the Rings... This handsome and expensive-looking new television adaptation looks like doing them justice. Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community The Wheel of Time season 1 makes a lackluster debut. An inconsistency in the pacing throughout the entire season made everything feel rushed and predictable. Rated: 5/10 Jan 21, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut A sprawling fantasy epic of female empowerment that remains loyal to the crazed fanbase. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Maggie Lovitt Millennial Falcon Reviews The Wheel of Time is the epic, sprawling fantasy that we have been waiting for.
